Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Fourteen persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing seven persons each. In row 1 - H, I, J, K, L, M and N are seated and all of them are facing north. While T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are sitting in row 2 and facing south direction, but not necessarily in the same order. Persons of row 1 face the persons of row 2.
N sits second from the left end of row 1. W faces N and sits third to the right of Y. L faces Y. One person sits between L and J, who sits at one of the extreme ends. U faces J. M sits to the immediate left of L and T faces M. V sits to the immediate right of T. H sits second to the left of L. K sits at the extreme left end of row 1. X sits to the left of Y, but does not sit at the extreme end.
Who among the following sits second to the right of the one who faces I?
Correct Answer :
T
Solution :
Correct Answer: T
Step-by-step Explanation:
We are given two parallel rows containing seven persons each:
- Row 1 (Facing North): H, I, J, K, L, M, N (Left to Right positions: 1 to 7)
- Row 2 (Facing South): T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z (Left to Right positions: 1 to 7)
For South-facing persons (Row 2), 'Right' is towards position 1 (West) and 'Left' is towards position 7 (East).
Building the Arrangement:
1. N sits second from the left end of row 1 ⇒ N is at position 2 of Row 1.
2. K sits at the extreme left end of row 1 ⇒ K is at position 1 of Row 1.
3. W faces N ⇒ W is at position 2 of Row 2.
4. W sits third to the right of Y ⇒ Since W is at position 2 facing South, Y must be at position 5 of Row 2.
5. L faces Y ⇒ L is at position 5 of Row 1.
6. M sits to the immediate left of L ⇒ M is at position 4 of Row 1.
7. T faces M ⇒ T is at position 4 of Row 2.
8. V sits to the immediate right of T (facing South) ⇒ V is at position 3 of Row 2.
9. H sits second to the left of L ⇒ H is at position 3 of Row 1.
10. One person sits between L (pos 5) and J, who sits at an extreme end ⇒ J is at position 7 of Row 1.
11. The remaining position in Row 1 (position 6) is occupied by I.
12. U faces J ⇒ U is at position 7 of Row 2.
13. X sits to the left of Y (towards position 7) but not at the extreme end ⇒ X is at position 6 of Row 2.
14. The remaining position 1 of Row 2 is occupied by Z.
Final Layout:
Row 2 (South Facing): Z (1) — W (2) — V (3) — T (4) — Y (5) — X (6) — U (7)
Row 1 (North Facing): K (1) — N (2) — H (3) — M (4) — L (5) — I (6) — J (7)
Solving the Question:
- The person who faces I (Row 1, position 6) is X (Row 2, position 6).
- Since X is facing South, counting two places to the right of X (towards lower position numbers) gives:
- 1st to the right: Y (position 5)
- 2nd to the right: T (position 4)
Hence, T sits second to the right of the one who faces I.
