Row arrangement of packets and wallets

CMAT 2018 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Linear Seating Arrangement

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?

  1. A.

    C

  2. B.

    S

  3. C.

    R

  4. D.

    A

Answer

C

Explanation

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.
