View answer & explanation

Correct answer

Answer: (c)C.

P

Why this answer is correct

1. R is positioned at one end of the row.  2. There is only one person between R and K.

Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.

3. Exactly six persons are standing between K and J.  4. J is placed third from one of the ends. 

  1. The number of individuals between M and T is the same as that between K and M. 6. There are more than six people standing between R and T.

Here, we have 4 Cases, i.e., Case 1, Case 2, Case 1a, and Case 2a.

7. P stands fifth to the right of M.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2.

  1. Not more than five people stand between J and P.

Now, we can eliminate Case 2a.

  1. T doesn't stand immediately left of P.

Now, we can eliminate Case 1a.

This is our final arrangement,

Hence, the correct answer is P.
