Question 4
EasyOriginal questionLata, Manoj, Nisha and Oviya sit in a row facing north at a quiz table. Manoj sits immediately to the left of Nisha. Oviya sits at the right end. Lata does not sit at the left end. Who sits between Nisha and Oviya?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Oviya takes the fourth seat. Manoj and Nisha need two neighbouring seats with Manoj on the left: seats 1-2 or 2-3.
If they took seats 2-3, Lata would be at the left end, which is not allowed. So Manoj is first and Nisha second.
Lata takes the third seat, the only seat between Nisha and Oviya.
Worth noting
'No one' comes from putting Manoj and Nisha in seats 2-3 without checking Lata's clue; 'Manoj and Lata' comes from putting Nisha to the left of Manoj.
