Correct answer

Answer: (a)A.

Fourth to the right

Why this answer is correct

From the given informations,

  1. S sits at the extreme end of the row. Here we get 2 possible cases- Case 1 and Case 2. Three persons sit between S and T. In case 1, S sits on the left end, So T sits on the right of S but in Case 2, S sits on the right end, So T sits on the left of S.

  2. L is seated exactly between S and V. In case 1, V sits on the left of T while in case 2, V sits on the right of T.

  3. V sits left of T. L does not sit right of T. Here Case 2 is ruled out now.

  4. X is the only immediate neighbour of Q, Which means Q sits on the right end of the row.

  5. More than one person sits between J and O, who does not sit near T. Hence J sits on the left of O. So, the final arrangement is-

Hence, O is fourth to the right of V.

Why this answer is correct

From the given informations,

  1. S sits at the extreme end of the row. Here we get 2 possible cases- Case 1 and Case 2. Three persons sit between S and T. In case 1, S sits on the left end, So T sits on the right of S but in Case 2, S sits on the right end, So T sits on the left of S.

  2. L is seated exactly between S and V. In case 1, V sits on the left of T while in case 2, V sits on the right of T.

  3. V sits left of T. L does not sit right of T. Here Case 2 is ruled out now.

  4. X is the only immediate neighbour of Q, Which means Q sits on the right end of the row.

  5. More than one person sits between J and O, who does not sit near T. Hence J sits on the left of O. So, the final arrangement is-
