Question 140
Five students Leena, Poonam, Sarika, Afreen and Monisha are sitting in a row facing the North. Monisha is sitting between Sarika and Poonam. Afreen is sitting on the west end. Poonam is sitting third to the right of Afreen. Who is sitting in the middle of the row?
Solution
Let us use the initials of names to denote them.
We know:
1. It can be SMP or PMS
2. A_ _ _ _
3. A_ _ P_
Now, for 3 to be valid, we can have SMP from 1 as the second combination will make this invalid.
Hence, ASMP_, which means Monisha is in middle.
