Question

Four packets P, Q, R and S, three wallets A, B and C are kept on a table one after the other in a row from left to right. Wallet C has as many items to its left as to its right. No packet is at any extreme end of the row. Packet P is kept to the immediate left of packet R. Packet P is to the immediate right of wallet A. What is kept third from left end of the row on the table?

A.
C
B.
S
C.
R
D.
A

Accepted Answer

C. Total items = 7 (3 wallets, 4 packets). C is in the middle (4th position). Extreme ends must be wallets (A and B). P is immediate right of A $\implies$ Position 1 = A, Position 2 = P. P is immediate left of R $\implies$ Position 3 = R. So third from left is Packet R.
