P, Q, R, S and T are the five corners of a table with five sides. Chairs A, B, C, D and E are placed along the sides joining the angular corners. Neither P, Q, R, S, T nor A, B, C, D and E are necessarily in that order. Chair A is along the side joining the corner P and R. S is to the immediate right of P, and R is between P and T. Chair B is along the side of Q and T. Chairs D and E are next to B on either side. The corners that join the side where the chair C is placed are:-

  1. A.

    P and R

  2. B.

    S and Q

  3. C.

    S and T

  4. D.

    P and S

Answer

D

Explanation

From the given conditions:

  1. Corners in clockwise order: P,S,Q,T,RP, S, Q, T, R.
  2. Chair A is on side P−RP-R.
  3. Chair B is on side Q−TQ-T.
  4. Chairs D and E are on sides S−QS-Q and T−RT-R.
  5. Therefore, chair C must be placed on side P−SP-S.

Hence, the corners joining the side where chair C is placed are P and S.
