Consider the following information and answer the questions :

Five ladies are sitting on a bench in a park ready to be photographed. Sheena is to the left of Remya and to the right of Beena. Monica is to the right of Remya. Reena is between Remya and Monica.

1.

Who is sitting on the immediate right to Reena ?

Exam Year(s)

KPSC KAS - 2020,

Answer: A

Immediately to the right of Reena is Monica.

Put the clues together from left to right. Sheena is to the right of Beena and to the left of Remya, so the order runs Beena, Sheena, Remya. Monica is to the right of Remya, and Reena sits between Remya and Monica, so the order continues Remya, Reena, Monica.

The full arrangement is Beena, Sheena, Remya, Reena, Monica. Reena is fourth, and the person to her immediate right is Monica. Remya is on her left, and Beena and Sheena sit at the other end of the bench.

Who is sitting on the immediate left to Remya ?

Answer: D

The lady immediately to the left of Remya is Sheena.

The order from left to right is Beena, Sheena, Remya, Reena, Monica. Sheena sits directly next to Remya on her left.

Reena and Monica are on Remya's right. Beena sits next to Sheena, two seats away from Remya, so she is not the immediate neighbour.

Direction for [ Question No: 4 To 7 ] :

Study the following information to answer the questions.

Seven friends P, Q, R, S, T, V and W are sitting in a straight line facing north not necessarily in the same order.

T is sitting fourth to the left of V.
W is sitting to the immediate left of T.
Q is sitting third to the right of W.
R is not an immediate neighbor of Q.
S is not an immediate neighbor of V.
V does not sit at an extreme end of the line.

4.

Who amongst the following is sitting second to the right of S?

Exam Year(s)

HPPSC HPAS - 2021,

Answer: C

The person second to the right of S is P.

Placing the seven gives the line, from left to right, W T S Q P V R. Put T in place p; then W is p − 1, Q is p + 2 and V is p + 4. V cannot be at an end, so p + 4 is at most 6, and W needs p of at least 2, so p = 2: W 1, T 2, Q 4, V 6. R is not next to Q, so R is not in 3 or 5 and takes 7. S is not next to V, so S is not in 5 or 7 and takes 3. P takes 5.

S is in place 3, so second to its right is place 5, which is P. V is in place 6, Q is in place 4 and W is in place 1, so they are not second to the right of S.

5.

Who amongst the following is sitting exactly between T and Q?

Exam Year(s)

HPPSC HPAS - 2021,

Answer: C

The person exactly between T and Q is S.

Placing the seven gives the line, from left to right, W T S Q P V R. Put T in place p; then W is p − 1, Q is p + 2 and V is p + 4. V cannot be at an end, so p + 4 is at most 6, and W needs p of at least 2, so p = 2: W 1, T 2, Q 4, V 6. R is not next to Q, so R is not in 3 or 5 and takes 7. S is not next to V, so S is not in 5 or 7 and takes 3. P takes 5.

T is in place 2 and Q is in place 4, so the one between them is in place 3, which is S. W, R and P are not in place 3.

Who among the following has as many people sitting to this right, as to his left?

Exam Year(s)

HPPSC HPAS - 2021,

Answer: C

The person with as many people on the right as on the left is Q.

Placing the seven gives the line, from left to right, W T S Q P V R. Put T in place p; then W is p − 1, Q is p + 2 and V is p + 4. V cannot be at an end, so p + 4 is at most 6, and W needs p of at least 2, so p = 2: W 1, T 2, Q 4, V 6. R is not next to Q, so R is not in 3 or 5 and takes 7. S is not next to V, so S is not in 5 or 7 and takes 3. P takes 5.

In a line of seven, the middle person (place 4) has three on each side. Place 4 is Q. S has two on the left and four on the right, P has four and two, and R is at the end.

Exam Year(s)

HPPSC HPAS - 2021,

Answer: C

The person third to the left of V is S.

Placing the seven gives the line, from left to right, W T S Q P V R. Put T in place p; then W is p − 1, Q is p + 2 and V is p + 4. V cannot be at an end, so p + 4 is at most 6, and W needs p of at least 2, so p = 2: W 1, T 2, Q 4, V 6. R is not next to Q, so R is not in 3 or 5 and takes 7. S is not next to V, so S is not in 5 or 7 and takes 3. P takes 5.

V is in place 6, so third to its left is place 3, which is S. R, Q and P are in places 7, 4 and 5.

Direction for [ Question No: 8 To 10 ] :

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row facing North :

 1) F is to the immediate right of E.

 2) E is 4th to the right of G.

 3) C is the neighbour of B and D.

 4) Person who is third to the left of D is at one of ends.

8.

Who are to the left of C ?

Answer: C

Correct answer: G and B

All seven face north, so right means east. E sits four places to G’s right with F immediately beyond, and the person three places to D’s left is at an end - which puts D fourth. C must lie between B and D, and only one filling satisfies all of it. From left to right the row reads G, B, C, D, E, F, A.

C stands third, so the only people to his left are G and B.

Answer: A

Correct answer: E is to the immediate left of D

All seven face north, so right means east. E sits four places to G’s right with F immediately beyond, and the person three places to D’s left is at an end - which puts D fourth. C must lie between B and D, and only one filling satisfies all of it. From left to right the row reads G, B, C, D, E, F, A.

E stands to D’s right, not his left, so that statement is not true. The others hold: A is at the right-hand end, G is immediately left of B, and F is second to D’s right.
