A group of friends named X, Y, Z, W and P are sitting in a park. X is sitting next to Y and Z is next to W. W is not sitting with P. P is on the left end of the bench and Z is on second position from right hand side. X is on the right hand side of Y and to the right side of P. X and Z are sitting together.
(1) Who is siiting in the center?
(2) Y is sitting away from W how many places?
Here is the order from left to right,
[U]P[/U] [U]X[/U] [U]Y[/U] [U]Z[/U] [U]W[/U]
(1) Who is siiting in the center? [B]Y[/B]
(2) Y is sitting away from W how many places? [B]1 [/B]

James you got the solution correct. You have also placed the order of sitting correctly for others to understand. Thanks for the same.
Hey james, i think the order can be p,y,x,z,w pls do check it one vasanth
I think Vasatha's solution is right. Well, JAmes, there is this clause in the question that says,[QUOTE] "X and Z are sitting together"[/QUOTE]. Now in the solution,
[B]P X Y Z W[/B], [B]X[/B] is [B]NOT[/B] sitting next to [B]Z[/B].
Where as in Vasantha's solution,
[B]p,y,x,z,w [/B] all conditions appear to be satisfied.
Correct me if I am wrong.
-Kalayama
P Y X Z W
is the correct solution
I think everyone is wrong. When P is at the left end of the bench and X to the right side of Y, it should be [COLOR="Blue"][B][U]W Z X Y P[/U][/B][/COLOR].
Hence, X is at the center and
Y is sitting 2 places away from W.
Hi babu, i am sorry but i really fail to undertsand as to how p could be at the left end of the bench if the order suggested by you is - w z x y p.
Well, the answer to the question is as suggested by vasanth.
[COLOR="Blue"]P y x z w [/COLOR]
as the above order matches all the clauses suggested in the question.
Cheers...
Hi,
The correct order of sitting will be
1 2 3 4 5
p y x z w
but not p x y z w, since x is right to both p and y.

1. X is sitting in the center
2. Y is sitting two places away from w
My solution is also P-Y-X-Z-W
Its [B]P Y X Z W[/B] as its mentioned in the question that [B]X is on right of Y[/B] .
Yes the series should be
[B]P Y X Z W[/B]
So. 1. X is sitting in the center. and
2. Y is 2 places far from W.
PYXZW
Y is 2 places from W
W Z X Y P
1. X will be in the center
2. 2 places (Y will be third from W).
Timmy, in the solution thay you say correct, all the conditions are not satisfying.
See, P, X, Y, Z, W (James ans)
1. X and Z are not together
2. Z is previous to W, z must be next to W isn't it.
Check my ans and correct me. PLs
I think babu is right
hi,
the answer is P Y X Z W which satisfies all the conditions.
Answers:
1. X is sitting in the center
2. Y is sitting two places away from w
Cheers,
Sharmee:)
pyxzw is the sequence in which people given are sitting
X is in the middle and Y is three steps away from W
Thanks, and have a nice day
