There are 4 boys, P, Q, R, and S. The priority given to them in taking a defending position in a football game is P > R > Q > S, in taking an attacking Position is S > R > Q > P and in taking mid-field position is P > S > Q > R. If P is NOT available, then who will play at mid-field position?
There are 4 boys, P, Q, R, and S. The priority given to them in taking a defending position in a football game is P > R > Q > S, in taking an attacking Position is S > R > Q > P and in taking mid-field position is P > S > Q > R. If P is NOT available, then who will play at mid-field position? Correct Answer cannot be determined
The logic followed is:
There are 4 boys, P, Q, R, and S.
| Position in-game | Name of Player priority wise |
| Defending Position | P > R > Q > S |
| Attacking position | S > R > Q > P |
| Mid-field position | P > S > Q > R |
The priority for the Player who will play in a Mid-field position is P > S > Q > R.
⇒ As mentioned in the statement, If P is NOT available then:
From all the positions Player P will be removed and new priority will be as given below:
| Position in-game | Name of Player priority wise |
| Defending Position | R > Q > S |
| Attacking position | S > R > Q |
| Mid-field position | S > Q > R |
⇒ As we can see the priority of S:
- Priority is the same for the Attacking position and Mid-field position.
- Thus we cannot be sure whether S will play at the Attacking or Mid-field position.
- Thus, S being the answer is ruled out.
⇒ Now we are left with the Q and R which can play at the Mid-field position.
- But Q and R have already occupied the other position.
- Thus it cannot be defined definitely who will play at the Mid-field position.
Hence, the correct answer is "Option 4".
