Eight people F, H, K, N, P, S, V, X are sitting in a straight line and all are facing north. Neither F nor H sit at any of the extreme ends of the line. F sits fourth to the right of H. Only two people sit between F and K. More than two people sit between P and K. P does not sit at an extreme end. S sits to the immediate right of V. X sits at one of the positions to the left of V. What is the position of N from the right end of the line?

What is the position of N from the right end of the line? Correct Answer First
Eight people F, H, K, N, P, S, V, X are sitting in a straight line and all are facing north.
1) F sits fourth to the right of H.

2) Only two people sit between F and K.
Case (i) :

Case (ii) :

3) Neither F nor H sits at any of the extreme ends of the line. More than two people sit between P and K and P does not sit at an extreme end.
So, here case (ii) gets eliminated.

4) S sits to the immediate right of V. X sits at one of the positions to the left of V.

∴ Here, the position of 'N' is 'first' from right end of the line.
Hence, the correct answer is "First".
