Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions. H, J, K, L, M and P are sitting in a straight line (not necessarily in the same order) facing North.
(a) H sits third to the left of P.
(b) P does not sit at an extreme end of the line.
(c) Only one person sits between M and K.
(d) K is not an immediate neighbour of H.
(e) J is not an immediate neighbour of H or M.
If all the persons are made to sit in alphabetical order from left to right, the positions of how many will remain unchanged as compared to the original seating positions?
Given that
H sits third to the left of P. So possible cases are
H _ _ P _ _
_ H _ _ P _
_ _ H _ _ P
Now it is given that ,P does not sit at an extreme end of the line and Only one person sits between M and K. and K is not the immediate neighbour of H, So possible cases are:
H _ K P M _
H _ M P K _
_ H _ K P M
_ H _ M P K
Now it is given that ,J is not an immediate neighbour of H or M. So,
H L M P K J - Only possible arrangement
Initial Arrangement - H L M P K J
Alphabetical Order- H J K L M P
