Options

A. 11
B. 17
C. 15
D. 19

Answer

C

Explanation

From the given statements, P sits 3rd from one of the extreme ends. From here we get two possibilities i.e. Case 1 and Case 2. There are two persons sit between Y and P. L is an immediate neighbour of both N and M. Either N or M is an immediate neighbour of Y. There are more than three persons sit between N and P. There is one person sits between N and C.

From the given statements, the number of persons sit between M and Pis one less than the number of persons sit to the right of C. Now we can say that Case2 is ruled out now.
So, the Final arrangment will be :-
