Difficulty: EasySeating Arrangement

Five friends—P, Q, R, S, and T—are sitting in a straight row facing North.

- P sits at the extreme left end.
- Q sits exactly in the middle.
- R sits immediately to the left of Q.
- S and T are adjacent to each other, but S is not adjacent to Q.

Based on this arrangement, which of the following statements are true?

  1. T sits immediately to the right of QAnswer
  2. B
    R sits immediately to the right of Q
  3. P and S are sitting at the extreme ends of the rowAnswer
  4. D
    S sits immediately to the left of T

Answer

The statements 'T sits immediately to the right of Q' and 'P and S are sitting at the extreme ends of the row' are correct.
Based on the step-by-step seating arrangement (P, R, Q, T, S from left to right), T (position 4) is placed immediately to the right of Q (position 3). Furthermore, P (position 1) and S (position 5) are at the extreme ends of the row.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Determine the total positions and place P and Q.
Positions from left to right are 1 to 5. P is at position 1 and Q is at position 3.
The problem states P is at the extreme left and Q is exactly in the middle of five people.
2
Place R.
R is placed at position 2.
R is immediately to the left of Q, meaning one position before Q.
3
Place S and T.
T is placed at position 4, and S is placed at position 5.
Positions 4 and 5 are empty. Since S and T are adjacent but S cannot be next to Q (position 3), T must take position 4 and S takes position 5.
4
Evaluate the given statements based on the final order.
The final arrangement from left to right is P, R, Q, T, S.
This allows us to determine the truth value of each option.
