P,Q,R,S circular table

by harsh.champ » Sun Feb 07, 2010 12:14 pm
P, Q, R, S, T and U sit around a circular table facing to the centre. Who sits between P and R?


I. P sits immediately left to U, and R sits immediately right to S around the circular table.
II. T and R cannot sit together, and only one person sits between P and R.
It takes time and effort to explain, so if my comment helped you please press Thanks button :)



Just because something is hard doesn't mean you shouldn't try,it means you should just try harder.

I is not sufficient
II is not sufficient
Both I and II are sufficient to complete the solution. so ans is C.
and they will sit as follows. P Q R S T U in circular form..

Statement 1 :Incomplete as we do not know where Q and T are sitting.
Statement 2:We do not know about Q and U.
Takinng both the statements,
we see that ,it is Q that sits between P and R.
Hence ,the ans is C.

Sorry shashank,but maybe you sped through the question and wrote B instead of C.
