Correct answer: C. S
Explanation
The first reader hands it to R, so R is 2nd. The last reader takes it from P, so P is 4th and someone else is 5th. Two readers sit between P and Q, and with P at 4 that puts Q at 1st. T is neither first nor last, so T is 3rd, and the only person left for the 5th place is S. The order is Q, R, T, P, S.पहला पाठक अखबार R को देता है, अतः R दूसरे स्थान पर है। अन्तिम पाठक उसे P से लेता है, अतः P चौथे स्थान पर है और पाँचवाँ कोई और। P और Q के बीच दो पाठक हैं, और P के चौथे स्थान पर होने से Q पहले स्थान पर आता है। T न प्रथम है न अन्तिम, अतः T तीसरे स्थान पर है, और पाँचवें स्थान के लिए केवल S शेष बचता है। क्रम है Q, R, T, P, S।More Reasoning & Mental Ability questions
