Ten persons sit in two parallel rows in such a way that five persons sit in each row. The persons in row 1 face south and those in row 2 face north. Persons of both rows face each other. P and K sit diagonally opposite to each other. The person sitting second to the left of K faces T. Two persons sit between K and M. R and L face each other. Q sits third to the left of R. N faces north and sits at one of the positions to the right of O. S is one of the persons. What is the position of R with respect to S?

1. Immediate right
2. Third to the right
3. Immediate left
4. Second to the left

Correct answer: Immediate right

Solution

This is a two-row seating arrangement with opposite facing directions, so left and right reverse for the south-facing row. By placing the definite relations step by step, R ends up immediately to the right of S. Hence, the correct relation is immediate right.
