The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of who is to the immediate right of P among five persons (P, Q, R, S, and T) facing North, we will analyze the two statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Orientation**: - Since all persons are facing North, we can visualize their positions accordingly. - The right of a person facing North will be to their right side. 2. **Analyzing Statement I**: - **Statement I**: R is third to the left of Q, and P is second to the right of R. - If R is third to the left of Q, we can represent Q's position as follows: - If Q is at position 1, then R will be at position 1 - 3 = position -2 (which is not possible in a 5-person arrangement). - If Q is at position 2, R will be at position 2 - 3 = position -1 (not possible). - If Q is at position 3, R will be at position 3 - 3 = position 0 (not possible). - If Q is at position 4, R will be at position 4 - 3 = position 1 (possible). - If Q is at position 5, R will be at position 5 - 3 = position 2 (possible). - Therefore, R can only be at position 2 or 1 if Q is at position 4 or 5 respectively. - Now, if P is second to the right of R, we can place R at position 2: - R (position 2) → P (position 4). - This means Q must be at position 1 (to satisfy R being third to the left of Q). - Thus, we have: - Position 1: Q - Position 2: R - Position 4: P - The immediate right of P (position 4) is position 5, which must be T or S. 3. **Analyzing Statement II**: - **Statement II**: Q is to the immediate left of T, who is second to the right of P. - If T is second to the right of P, we can visualize: - If P is at position 1, T will be at position 3. - If P is at position 2, T will be at position 4. - If P is at position 3, T will be at position 5. - Since Q is to the immediate left of T, we can place Q accordingly: - If T is at position 3, Q must be at position 2. - If T is at position 4, Q must be at position 3. - If T is at position 5, Q must be at position 4. - The only arrangement that satisfies both conditions is: - Position 1: P - Position 2: Q - Position 3: T - Thus, the immediate right of P (position 1) is Q (position 2). 4. **Conclusion**: - From both statements, we find that in both cases, Q is to the immediate right of P. - Therefore, we conclude that either statement alone is sufficient to answer the question. ### Final Answer: The person to the immediate right of P is **Q**.

To solve the problem of who is to the immediate right of P among five persons (P, Q, R, S, and T) facing North, we will analyze the two statements provided. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Orientation**: - Since all persons are facing North, we can visualize their positions accordingly. - The right of a person facing North will be to their right side. ...
