Six people i.e. L, M, N, P, R and S are sitting around a triangular table but not necessarily in the same order. Three of them sit at the corner of the table and three of them sit in the middle of the side. Some of them are facing inside the table and some of them are facing outside the table. Not more than two persons sit adjacent to each other who are facing the same direction. Two persons sit between R and P. P faces inside. S sits second to the right of R. L faces the opposite direction to R. Only one person sits between N and S who does not sit at the corner of the table. M and N face the same direction as P. M sits `2^(nd)` to the left of L
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and hence from a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group?

Options

A. R
B. M
C. L
D. P

Answer

C

Explanation

1) Two persons sit between R and P.
Here, we have two possible cases i.e. Case 1 and Case 2.
2) P faces inside.

3) S sits second to the right of R.
Here, we have two more possible cases i.e. Case 3 and Case 4.

4) Only one person sits between N and S who does not sit at corner of the table.
Here, our case 1 and 3 get eliminated and we further proceed with case 2 and 4.
5) L faces opposite direction to R.
6) M sits `2^(nd)` to the left of L.

7) M and N faces same direction as P and not more than two persons sit adjacent to each other who are facing same direction. Here, Case 4 gets eliminated.
So, S faces outside and our final arrangement will be:

Clearly, L does not belong to that group because except L all are facing inside the table.
