Question

Read the following statements to answer these questions.
Nine cricket fans are watching a match in a stadium. Seated in one row, they are J,K,L,M,N,O,P,Q and R. L is at the right of M and at third place at the right of N.K is at one end of the row. Q is immediately next to O and P.O is at third place at the left of K.J is right next to left of Q.

Which of the following is in the right sequence?

• A. M, L, J
• B. J, P, K
• C. R, M, J
• D. O, Q, K

Answer 1

The correct option is A M, L, J

L is at the right of M and at third place at the right of N. So, the sequence becomes N_ML. O is at third place at the left of K and J is right next to left of O i.e., JO_ _ K.Q is adjacent t both O and P i.e., JOQPK. Thus the only blank space left must be occupied by R i.e., NRML. Since K is at the one end of the row, so the entire seating sequence becomes: NRMLJOQPK.
Clearly, M, L and J is the right sequence.
Hence, option (A) is the correct answer.
