Q1P, Q, R, S, T, K and M are sitting in a straight line, all facing north, but not necessarily in the same order. There is only one person sitting between K and R. T sits between P and S. There are only two persons between T and M. K sits on the immediate left of P, and P sits in the middle of the row. Which of the following pairs of persons are sitting at the extreme ends?
With seven persons, the middle seat is the fourth. P is in the fourth seat and K is immediately to P's left, so K is third. Since exactly one person is between K and R, R must be first or fifth. T sits between P and S, and there are two persons between T and M. The consistent arrangement is R, M, K, P, T, S, Q from left to right. Thus the persons at the two extreme ends are R and Q. S and T are adjacent inside the row, while K and M are not at the ends.
Q2P, Q, R, S and T are sitting on a bench, and all are facing north. P is sitting next to Q. R is sitting next to S. S is not sitting with T, and T is not at the left end of the bench. R is in the second position from the right. P is to the right of Q and T. P and R are sitting together. In which position is P sitting?
Since R is second from the right and P sits with R, P must be beside R. P is to the right of both Q and T, and P is also next to Q, so Q must be immediately to the left of P. S sits with R, but S is not with T, which fixes the remaining arrangement as T, Q, P, R, S from left to right. Therefore P sits between Q and R. The placements between Q and S, S and T, and R and T do not match the fixed seating order.
Q3A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a round table. C is not in either of the neighbouring seats of E. A is between E and F, and E is opposite D. Who is opposite F?
Place E anywhere on the round table; D must sit directly opposite E. Since A is between E and F, A must be next to E and F must sit on the other side of A. Now C cannot sit on either neighbouring seat of E, so the remaining valid position for C is fixed, leaving B in the seat directly opposite F. A is adjacent to F, not opposite. C is ruled out by the fixed arrangement. D is opposite E, not F.
Q4Five students A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row. D is to the right of E. B is to the left of E but to the right of A. D is to the left of C. Who is sitting at the extreme left?
The clues place B to the right of A and to the left of E, so the order begins A, B, E. D is to the right of E and to the left of C, so D and C must come after E in that order. The complete row from left to right is A, B, E, D, C. Therefore A is at the extreme left. B, E and C are all fixed to the right of A by the given conditions.
Q5A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are eight friends sitting around a circle facing the centre, not necessarily in the same order. H is on the immediate left of A, but H is not a neighbour of E or D. F is on the immediate right of B and G is a neighbour of E. C is between E and F. What is the position of G?
All friends face the centre, so left and right are judged from each person's own facing direction. One valid circular order, clockwise, is A, H, G, E, C, F, B, D. This satisfies H immediately left of A, H not beside E or D, F immediately right of B, G beside E, and C between E and F. From F, moving to the right gives C first, E second, and G third. Therefore G is not immediately right of D, not second right of F, and not immediately right of A.
