Question

Four people (P, Q, R & S) are standing in a queue. Q is ahead of P. R is between P and S. If 5 is at the end of the queue, who is at the front of the queue?

• A. Q
• B. R
• C. P
• D. S

Hint:

When solving positioning problems, arrange the conditions logically to form the order of people in the queue.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Analyze the given conditions.
- Q is ahead of P. This means Q stands before P.
- R is between P and S. So, P and S are at the ends, with R between them.
- 5 is at the end of the queue. This implies 5 is either at the back or front, but not in the middle.

Step 2: Build the queue.
From the above conditions, the order of the people in the queue can be deduced as:
\[ Q, P, R, S, 5. \]

Step 3: Conclusion.
Since Q is ahead of P, and based on the arrangement, Q is at the front of the queue.
Thus, the correct answer is (a) Q.
