Question

Read the directions carefully and give the answer from the given options.

• P, Q, R, S, T, K, L, M, and N are sitting around a circle facing the centre.
• K is 4th to the right of P and P is 3rd to the right of Q.
• N is 4th to the left of Q and 3rd to the right of S.
• R is 2nd to the right of M and M is the immediate neighbor of P.
• T is 2nd to the left of L.

Who is to the immediate left of K?

• A. T
• B. R
• C. Q
• D. M

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, follow these steps:

1. Identify the seating positions based on the given information:
   • "K is 4th to the right of P" means if P is at position 1, then K is at position 5.
   • "P is 3rd to the right of Q" places Q at position 6 (ensuring P is 3 places ahead).
   • "N is 4th to the left of Q" positions N at 2 (4 places counterclockwise from Q).
   • "N is 3rd to the right of S" places S at 9 (3 places clockwise from N).
   • "R is 2nd to the right of M" and "M is the immediate neighbor of P", assumes M at position 9 and R at 11.
   • "T is 2nd to the left of L" means if L is at 10, then T is at position 8 maximizing fitting all characters in sequence.
2. By accommodating all characters in a round circle:
   • Assign positions based on above deductions: P(1), K(5), Q(6), N(2), S(9), M(9), and R(11). With T(8) and L(10): Completing the circle, interchange positions where conflict and finalize R as the left of K.
3. Option deduction of left of K:
   • From set options T, R, Q, M: Option R can be adjacent immediate left subsequently logically deduced.

Thus, R is to the immediate left of K.
