Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

I got the sitting arrangement as follows.

A P S Z X P.

Is it right?

How can we say that who is first? Please tell me.

It can even be R as it is not mentioned that R is at the immediate left of A.

According to question, s and z is the middle but doesn't mention the position , So the take the position s and z is . . s/z. .z/s . .

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.

How can we say that who is first? Please tell me.

@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.

I am not understanding this.

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.

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.
