Ex.2: Nine cricket fans are watching a match in a stadium. Seated in one row they are J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R. L is at right of M and at third place at the right of N. K is at one end of the row. Q is seated adjacent to both O and P. O is at the third place at the left of K. J is the right next to left of O. Question: 1. Who is the siting at the center of the row? a) I b) J c) O d) Q
2. Who is at the other end of the row? a) J Solution: L is the at the right of M and at third place at the right of N. So this sequence becomes N_ML. O is at the third place at the left of K and J is right next to left of O, that is JO_ _K. Q is adjacent to both O and P, that is JOQPK. Thus the only blank space left must be occupied by R, that is NRML. Since the K is at one end of the row, the entire seating sequence is NRMLJOQPK. Answers: 1. J is sitting at center of row, so answer is (b) 2. N is at the other end of the row, so answer is (b) b) N c) P d) R

Answer is (c), we have A < B, C < D, B < C and E < A. So, the sequence becomes: E < A < B < C < D. Clearly, child D is most intelligent. 3.
