SZ in the middle.
P & A at ends so it can be P SZ A.
Then it says R is left of A means P SZ R A.
Location of X is not given so how can we assume it to be on the right of P?

Possible sequences:
P X S Z R A.
P S Z X R A.
P S Z R X A.
These all are valid locations of X.
If you don't know the answer, don't try to create a confusion here.
P X S Z R A.
P S Z X R A.
P S Z R X A.
These all are valid locations of X.
If you don't know the answer, don't try to create a confusion here.

You are slightly correct.
It is like SZ is in the centre AP at the end. So if we put the two letters like for p-x & ra the answer will be RASZPX or PXSZRA.

It is wrong. Because it is not mentioned here that R is to the immediate left of A. And because of this there are many possibilities for P and R.

Please, R is supposed to be sitting to the left but the answer shows that he is in the right. See the left and right according to their sitting.

ARSZXP and PXSZRA both are correct because they have not mentioned any direction and in both the cases the answer is 'X'.
