Question
Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below.Six persons J, P, Q, R, V, Z are sitting in a row. Some of them are facing north while some of them are facing south. J sits second from one of the extreme end of the row. P sits third to the right of J. R is not an immediate neighbor of P and Z. Both the immediate neighbours of V faces opposite direction. Both the immediate neighbours of Z faces same direction. V sits second to the left of P. Q sits to the right of R. R faces north. Q faces same direction as Z. How many persons in the given arrangement are facing North?
Solution
To solve this problem, we need to follow the given clues step by step.
-
J sits second from one of the extreme end of the row. We can place J in two possible positions, either second from the left or second from the right.
-
P sits third to the right of J. If J is facing North, P will be on the right of J. If J is facing South, P will be on the left of J. We don't know the direction J is facing yet, so we can't place P.
-
R is not an immediate neighbor of P and Z. We can't place R yet because we don't know where P and Z are.
-
Both the immediate neighbours of V faces opposite direction. We can't place V yet because we don't know where the others are.
-
Both the immediate neighbours of Z faces same direction. We can't place Z yet because we don't know where the others are.
-
V sits second to the left of P. We can't place V yet because we don't know where P is.
-
Q sits to the right of R. We can't place Q yet because we don't know where R is.
-
R faces north. We can't place R yet because we don't know where the others are.
-
Q faces same direction as Z. We can't place Q or Z yet because we don't know where the others are.
From the above analysis, we can see that we can't place any of the persons yet. We need more information to solve this problem.
