Question

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:-

A.
P and R
B.
S and Q
C.
S and T
D.
P and S

Accepted Answer

D. From the given conditions: 1. Corners in clockwise order: $P, S, Q, T, R$. 2. Chair A is on side $P-R$. 3. Chair B is on side $Q-T$. 4. Chairs D and E are on sides $S-Q$ and $T-R$. 5. Therefore, chair C must be placed on side $P-S$. Hence, the corners joining the side where chair C is placed are P and S.
