Five boys are standing in a row facing East. Deepak is to the left of Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra. Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil. Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar. If Tushar is fourth form the left, how far is Sameer from the right?

• A. First
• B. Second
• C. Third
• D. Fourth

Answer 1

The correct option is D Fourth

Deepak (D) is to the left of Sameer (Sm), Thushar (T) and Shailendra (Sh) means

D, Sm, T, Sh.

Sameer, Tushar and Shailendra are to the left of Sushil (Su) means

Sm, T, Sh, Su.

Shailendra is between Sameer and Tushar means

Sm, Sh, T.

Tushar is fourth form the left means

$\square \square \square$ T

Combining all the arrangements,

We have D, Sm, Sh, T, Su.

So Sameer is fourth from the right.
