Question 31

Six scientists R, L, T, S, N and P are standing in a row facing towards north (Not necessarily in the same order). N is standing to the immediate right of R. S is standing second to the right of P. Two scientists are standing between T and N. S is towards the left of L. Which of the following is correct about the position of L?

Solution

S is second to the right of P and is towards the left of L. So, we will have

Case 1:

P _  S _  _  _

Case 2:

_  P _  S  _  _

Case 3:

_  _  P _  S L

N is standing to the immediate right of R. Two scientists are standing between T and N.

Case 1:

P T S R  N  _

So, the only person left is L.

P T S R  N  L

Case 2:

N is standing to the immediate right of R. Two scientists are standing between T and N.

_  P T S  R N

So, the only person left is L.

 L P T S  R N

But S is to the left of L. Hence this case gets rejected.

Case 3:

N is standing to the immediate right of R. Two scientists are standing between T and N.

R N  P _  S L

Here only person left is T. So, we will get

R N  P T  S L

But as per the given condition two scientists are standing between T and N. Hence this case gets rejected.

Therefore the final arrangement is of Case 1

P T S R N L

L is at the right end, 

Therefore, Option C is correct.
