NIMCET 2014 — Reasoning PYQ

Solution

Given Data:

• Five boys: A, B, C, D, E.

• Five girls: P, Q, R, S, T.

• They are in two rows facing each other.

Step-by-Step Logic:

1. Placement of A and B: $A$ is second to the left of $B$. Let’s assume the boys are facing North.

   • Arrangement: $A\text{ \_ }B$

2. Placement of C: $C$ is to the immediate right of $B$.

   • Arrangement: $A\text{ \_ }BC$

3. Placement of D: $D$ is to the immediate left of $A$.

   • Arrangement: $DA\text{ \_ }BC$

4. Filling the Gap: Since there are 5 boys, the only remaining boy $E$ must occupy the gap between $A$ and $B$.

   • Final Boy Row (Left to Right): $D\to A\to E\to B\to C$

5. Facing Conditions:

   • $A$ is facing $P$.

   • $S$ and $R$ are not facing $B$ or $D$.

   • There is one girl between $P$ and $Q$ and one between $R$ and $S$.

Conclusion:

Looking at the final arrangement of the boys:

The person standing to the immediate right of $A$ is E.

Correct Option: 1 (E)
