Read the following information carefully to answer the question:

i. Six shops on a floor in two rows facing north and south are allotted to P, Q, R, S, T, and U (not necessarily in the same order).

ii. Q gets a north-facing shop and is not next to S.

iii. Q and P gets diagonally opposite shops.

iv. R, next to U, gets a south-facing shop and T gets a north-facing shop.

The shops of which of the other pairs than QP are diagonally opposite to each other?

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 1

North row holds Q, T, S; south row holds R, U, P. Since Q is not adjacent to S, T sits in the middle of the north row with Q and S at the two ends. P must occupy the corner diagonally across from Q, so P takes the far end of the south row and R, U fill the remaining two south shops. The remaining diagonal then pairs S with U.
