Linear Arrangement Question 4 Detailed Solution
Given :
- Six people sit in two parallel rows.
- In Row 1- A, B and C sit facing towards north
- Row 2 - P, Q and R sit facing the south.
- Each person in a row faces a person in the other row.
Explanation :
- Statement (I) → R sits to the immediate left of Q. Q faces A. B sits to the immediate left of A.
Only one position is left so 'C' sits at the right extreme end of Row 1.
So, statement (I) is sufficient to answer the question.
- Statement (II) → Only one person sits between B and C. B faces an immediate neighbour of Q.
As any specific position of G, J and L cannot be determined, so no specific answer can drawn from it as this statement gives many possibilities.
B and C's position is not clear.
So, statement (II) is not sufficient to answer the question.
Hence, "Option (2)" is the correct answer.
