P-U-S is one possibility and the other possibility is S-U-P.<\/p>\n R is yellow and is opposite to P.<\/p>\n Q is green and is opposite to U. We know that green house is opposite to the shortest house. This implies that U is the shortest house => Number of U is 6.<\/p>\n P is white and is taller than R but shorter than S and Q => Apart from T, S and Q are also taller than P => S and Q can be 2 and 3 in any order => Number of P is 4 and number of R is 5.<\/p>\n We know that P is opposite to R and Q is opposite to U => S is opposite to T<\/p>\n It is given that T is opposite to red house => S is the red house and hence T is the blue house.<\/p>\n So, we know the colours of all houses and heights of P, R, T and U.<\/p>\n In this question, we are asked to find the house that is opposite to yellow house. R is the yellow house, P is opposite to R and S is on the other corner in P\u2019s row. Hence S is the house that is diagonally opposite to yellow house and the colour of S is Red.<\/p>\n Question 2:\u00a0<\/b>Which is the second tallest house?<\/p>\n a)\u00a0P<\/p>\n b)\u00a0S<\/p>\n c)\u00a0Q<\/p>\n d)\u00a0R<\/p>\n e)\u00a0cannot be determined<\/p>\n 2)\u00a0Answer\u00a0(E)<\/strong><\/p>\n View Video Solution<\/a><\/p>\n Solution:<\/b><\/p>\n Before directly trying to answer the question, it is important to gather all the information given by the question.<\/p>\n There are three houses on each side of the road => Draw 6 lines, 3 in each row, to accommodate P, Q, R, S, T and U.<\/p>\n The houses are of different colours and different heights.<\/p>\n T is tallest and is opposite to red house => Let\u2019s number T as 1.<\/p>\n Shortest house is opposite to green house.<\/p>\n U is orange and is between P and S => Two cases arise here.
