In a horse race, P came ahead of S, R came ahead of V and S came ahead of R but was behind N. If P did NOT come first, who came first in the race? Correct Answer N

1. P came ahead of S → P > S

2. R came ahead of V → R > V

3. S came ahead of R but was behind N → N > S > R

4. P did not come first → P > _ > _ > _ > _

So, the final arrangement is:

N > P > S > R > V

Hence, ‘N’ came first in the race.
