Question

There are five boys P, Q, R, S and T sitting in a row facing North such that P is right of Q and T is left of R and right of P. Q is right of S. Which boy is in the middle of the row?

• A. P
• B. Q
• C. R
• D. T

Hint:

When arranging items based on given conditions, work through the logical placement of each item and use the given relationships to determine their exact positions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Ascertain seating order.
- P is to the right of Q, implying Q is to the left of P. - T is to the left of R and to the right of P, indicating T is positioned between P and R. - Q is to the right of S, meaning S is to the left of Q. The resultant arrangement from left to right is: \[ S, Q, P, T, R. \]

Step 2: Locate the central individual.
The individual occupying the middle position in this arrangement is \( \boxed{R} \).

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{R} \]
