Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

A,P,R,X,S and Z are sittion in a row, If X and Z are sitting in the center then the possibility will be as below.

_ _ SZ_ _
_ _ ZS_ _.


After that in the question, it is given that A and P are at ends. then the possibility will be
A_SZ_P
P_SZ_A
A_ZS_P
P_ZS_A.

After that it is mentioned in the question that R is sitting to the left of A. then there is only two possible solutions as below.

P_SZRA
P_ZSRA
in the above, cases the space is available on the right to P. and the only X is remaining to sit.
Hence the sitting arrangement will be like this:

PXSZRA or PXZSRA
And in both cases X is to the right of P.

According to me, the Seating arrangement was given wrong because they have given that A, P, R, X, S, and Z are sitting in a row. S and Z are in the centre. A and P are at the ends. R is sitting to the left of A. According to them the order would be: A R S Z X P and the question is wrong also as they did not mention the place of the letter '' X''. The end is P so there is no letter beside P and the option should be none of the above

Insufficient information given in the question, there may raise 4 possible sequences and all are correct.

1)PXSZRA
2)PRSZXA
3)PXZSRA
4)PRSZXA

Since, it is not given that weather R is at immediate left to A or not.
So, there might be two possible sequences, ie, (1)PXSZRA and (2)PRSZXA.

Also, order for the middle letters S and Z is not given.
So, we can also write sequence as (3)PXZSRA and (4)PRSZXA.

The seating arrangement could also be following

P R S Z X A.
Since its mentioned that R is to the left of A so R can be next left i.e at 2nd position from A or from last but one from P.

In the question, it's just mentioned R is to the left of A and not immediate left. So the given sequence should also be correct i.e P R S Z X A.

This question is just a matter of: who is sitting to the right of P? Answer: A and P are at the ends. So, P-----A..
S and Z are in the middle. So, A-SZ-P..R is sitting to the left of A. So, The arrangement should be..P-SZRA..The remaining position should be X..The final arrangement: PXSZRA..Ok..

all the best for SBI POs..

@Patole.

They said A and P are at the ends, that's not just enough for you to know where each of them lies but the fact that they said are lies to the left of A there you realize A must be at the right end then P at the left end.


So the pattern will be PXSZRA or PXZSRA, I hope it helps.

Hey, I think that the question is wrong as it is saying that A and P are in ends so A can be in any end and P can be in any end which means that the end S place of both is not specific and so everybody will put it in their way and all the answers will come out differently.

There are 6 letters.

S & Z is in middle 3rd, 4th place.

A & T are at the ends i.e. 1st and 6th place.

R is left to A so R should come to 5th place.

Finally 2nd place is empty. So X will come to the right of P.

1 2 3 4 5 6.
P X S Z R A.

First of all in 6 words xz in middle.

A and P at end. There is condition states that R is left of A. Because A, is at last position and then x remained. That's it because proper sequence is PXSZRA.

Let's see

S & Z is middle(its right or left is not important)
A & P is end ,so it's have only one hand.
R is left of A

so the order is P?SZ(or zs)RA

?= x is answer.
