Solution
The question is a logical reasoning problem. Here are the steps to solve it:
-
Start by placing O in the middle of the line, as M is fifth to the right of O, and we know there are only seven friends. So, M has to be at one of the ends of the line.
-
Now, place M to the right of O, as they are facing north.
-
Next, place L three places to the left of P, as P sits third right of L.
-
Since L and P do not sit at the extreme ends of the line, place P to the right of O and L to the left of O.
-
Now, place Q and R. They are immediate neighbours of each other, but they can't be placed to the right of the line as M and P are already there. So, place Q and R to the left of the line, next to L.
-
Finally, place N third to the left of Q. As there is no space to the left of Q, place N to the right of Q.
The final arrangement should look like this: R, Q, L, O, P, N, M.
So, the position of Q with respect to P is 3rd left.
