NIMCET 2014 — Reasoning PYQ

Given:

Six friends P, Q, R, S, T, and U are standing in two rows (3 in each row) facing one another.

• Condition 1: P is in the middle of one row.

  $$\text{Row 1: }\underline{}P\underline{}$$
  $$\text{Row 2: }\underline{}\underline{}\underline{}$$

• Condition 2: U is to the left of S and facing R.

  To satisfy "facing," R must be in Row 1 (with P) and U/S must be in Row 2.

  $$\text{Row 1: }RP\underline{}$$
  $$\text{Row 2: }US\underline{}$$

• Condition 3: Only one person is between R and T.

  This places T at the far end of Row 1.

  $$\text{Row 1: }RPT$$

• Condition 4: Q and T are not in the same row.

  This places Q in the remaining spot in Row 2.

  $$\text{Row 2: }USQ$$

Final Arrangement:

Conclusion:

From the final arrangement, we can see that R, P, and T are in the same row.
