Question

Five friends Sajit, Rohan, Bikshu, Tomar and Madhu are sitting on a bench in a playground and facing north (but not necessarily in the same order of names). Sajit sits on the immediate left of Rohan and on the immediate right of Bikshu. Madhu is somewhere to the right of Rohan. Tomar is exactly between Rohan and Madhu. Who is sitting at the extreme right end?

• A. Sajit
• B. Madhu
• C. Rohan
• D. Tomar

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Madhu

Solution:

Five Friends: Sajit, Rohan, Bikshu, Tomar and Madhu

1) Sajit sits on the immediate left of Rohan and on the immediate right of Bikshu.

There three cases possible for this statement.

2) Madhu is somewhere to the right of Rohan.

Case - 3 gets eliminated and one more case is possible for case - 1.

3) Tomar is exactly between Rohan and Madhu. 

So, Case - 1 and Case - 2 gets eliminated.

Madhu is sitting at the extreme right end.

Hence, the correct answer is "Madhu".
