Eight people are sitting in two parallel rows containing four people each, such that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In row 1, A, B, C and D are seated and all of them are facing south. In row 2, P, Q, R and S are seated and all of them are facing north. Each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. R sits second to the left of the person who faces A. S is an immediate neighbor of R. Only one person sits between A and D. One of the immediate neighbours of C faces Q. B does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line. Who amongst the following faces B?
- P
- Q
- R
- S
Correct answer: P
Solution
Using the condition that A and D have one person between them and that R is second to the left of the person facing A, the positions in row 2 can be fixed. Then S must be adjacent to R, and the clue about C facing Q completes the arrangement. In the final setup, B faces P.
