U, V, W, X and T are sitting on a bench. T is sitting next to U, V is sitting next to W, W is not sitting with X who is on the left end of the bench. V is in the second position from the right. T is to the right of U and X. T and V are sitting together. In which position T is sitting?
Show Hint
- Between V and X
- Between U and V
- Between U and W
- Between X and W
The Correct Option is B
Solution and Explanation
Let's break down the clues for the five positions on the bench (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 from left to right).
1. X is on the left end of the bench. So, X is at position 1. Arrangement: X, _, _, _, _.
2. V is in the second position from the right. This is position 4. Arrangement: X, _, _, V, _.
3. T and V are sitting together. Since V is at 4, T must be at 3 or 5.
4. T is to the right of U and X. Since T is to the right of X (who is at 1), this is consistent.
5. Let's test T's position: If T is at 5: Arrangement is X, _, _, V, T. From clue "T is sitting next to U", U must be at position _ next to T, but there are no more seats. This is impossible. Therefore, T must be at position 3. Arrangement: X, _, T, V, _.
6. T is sitting next to U. Since T is at 3, U must be at position 2. Arrangement: X, U, T, V, _.
7. V is sitting next to W. Since V is at 4, W must be at position 5. Arrangement: X, U, T, V, W.
8. Final check: "W is not sitting with X". W is at 5, X is at 1. This is true. "T is to the right of U and X". T(3) is right of U(2) and X(1). This is true.
The final arrangement is: X, U, T, V, W.
The question asks for the position of T. T is sitting between U and V.
