  • Thus, C is in the middle.
  • No packet is at any extreme end of the row.
  • Hence, A and C are at extreme end of the row.
  • Packet P is to the immediate right of wallet A.
  • Hence, A is at the extreme left.
  • Packet P is kept to the immediate left of packet R.
  • Hence, R comes third from the left.
Hence, the correct answer is R.
