Question

Read the following instructions and answer the question:
Eleven friends M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting in the first row of the stadium watching a cricket match.
(A) T is to the immediate left of P and third to the right of U.
(B) V is the immediate neighbour of M and N and third to the left of S.
(C) M is the second to the right of Q, who is at one of the ends.
(D) R is sitting next to the right of P and P is second to the right of O.
Which of the following people are sitting to the right of S?

• A. OTPQ
• B. OTPR
• C. UNVM
• D. UOTPR

Hint:

Once the full row is fixed, S sits at position 7; just read off everyone after it.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Step 1: Rather than rebuilding the whole row from scratch, use the fixed block identified from clues (A) and (D): O, T, P, R always sit consecutively in that order, with U sitting four seats before P. Placing this block so it does not clash with Q (seat 1) and M (seat 3) forces P to seat 10, so O, T, P, R land on seats 8, 9, 10, 11.
Step 2: Clue (B) then places V at seat 4, N at seat 5, and S three seats after V, at seat 7, with W taking the last free seat, seat 2. So S is at seat 7, strictly before the O-T-P-R block.
Step 3: Everything sitting at a seat number greater than 7 is to the right of S. That is seats 8, 9, 10, 11, occupied by O, T, P and R in that left-to-right order. Checking the choices, only the group OTPR in that exact order matches.
\[\boxed{\text{Right of S} = O, T, P, R}\]
