Four friends P, Q, R and S sit in a row facing north. Each likes a different fruit: mango, apple, banana or grape. P sits at the left end and likes mango. Q sits immediately to the right of P. S sits at the right end and likes apple. R likes banana. Which fruit does Q like?
Q likes grape. P, S and R are fixed with mango, apple and banana respectively, and Q is the only person left. Grape is the only fruit not yet assigned, so it must belong to Q.
- AMango
- BApple
- CBanana
- DGrapeCorrect
Explanation
P is at position 1 and Q at position 2. S is at position 4, so R is at position 3. Mango (P), apple (S) and banana (R) are already assigned, so the only fruit left for Q is grape.
