Six persons P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting on a straight bench facing towards the east. Only two persons are sitting between P and Q. Only S is sitting to the left of P. Only Q is sitting between T and U. U is sitting at the end position from the right end. Who is sitting at the third position from the left end?

  1. A
    T
  2. B
    Q
  3. C
    R
  4. D
    U

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's mark the six positions on the bench from Left (1) to Right (6): "Only S is sitting to the left of P". This means S must be at the extreme left position, and P is right next to him. So, S = 1 and P = 2."Only two persons are sitting between P and Q". Since P is at position 2, Q must be at position . So, Q = 5."U is sitting at the end position from the right end" U = 6."Only Q is sitting between T and U". Since Q is at 5 and U is at 6, T must be at position 4. So, T = 4.The only remaining empty slot is position 3, which goes to the remaining person, R = 3.The full linear arrangement from left to right is:S - P - R - T - Q - UThe person sitting at the third position from the left end is R.
