Question

Six students P,Q,R,S,T and U are sitting around a Hexagonal table each at one corner and facing the center of hexagon. P is second to the left of U, Q is neighbor of R and S. T is second to the left of S. Who is on the right of R?

• A. Q
• B. P
• C. S
• D. U

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

To solve the problem, we need to accurately arrange six students, namely P, Q, R, S, T, and U, around a hexagonal table, with each facing the center. We must find the student who sits to the right of R based on the given conditions. Let's go step-by-step:

1. Start by focusing on the given that P is second to the left of U. This means there is one person sitting between P and U in the anti-clockwise direction.
2. Next, identify Q who is a neighbor of R and S. This means Q sits directly next to both R and S.
3. According to the information, T is second to the left of S. Therefore, there is one person between T and S in the anti-clockwise direction.
4. With these clues, arrange the six students around the hexagon.
   • Position U anywhere initially since no specific starting position is given for U.
   • Following the rule that P is second to the left of U, place P accordingly. In our rotation, if U is at position 1, then P must be at position 3.
   • Since T is second to the left of S, position S so that T is two places counterclockwise from S. If we start with S at position 4, then T should be at position 6.
   • Now, place Q between R and S. This implies R should be at position 5, making Q at position 4 in our setup.
5. Thus, the arrangement becomes (clockwise): U, T, P, Q, R, S.
6. Finally, identify the person sitting immediately to the right of R, which in this arrangement is P at position 3.

The person sitting to the right of R is therefore P, fulfilling all given conditions. Hence, the correct answer is P.
