Question

M, N, O, P, Q and R are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). N sits to the immediate right of R. M sits second to the right of N. P sits second to the right of M. O sits third to the right of P. Who sits to the immediate right of Q?

• A. R
• B. O
• C. M
• D. P

Answer 1

Answer:

D. P

Let’s carefully correct the arrangement.

We place everyone clockwise (since they face the centre, “right” = clockwise).

Fix R anywhere

Take R at position 1.

N is immediate right of R

R → N
So: R (1), N (2)

M is second to the right of N

From N (2), 2nd right = position 4
So: M at 4

P is second to the right of M

From M (4), 2nd right = position 6
So: P at 6

O is third to the right of P

From P (6):

• 1st → 1 (R)

• 2nd → 2 (N)

• 3rd → 3 (Q)

So: O at 3

Remaining seat

Only Q is left → position 5

Final circle:
1 R
2 N
3 O
4 M
5 Q
6 P

Who is immediate right of Q?

Q is at 5 → immediate right (clockwise) is position 6 → P

Final Answer:

P
