Six people sit around a circular table facing the center. P sits 2 seats to the right of Q. R sits opposite to P. If Q is at 12 o'clock position, where is R?
A6 o'clock
B3 o'clock
C9 o'clock
DCannot be determined
Correct Answer:
A. 6 o'clock
Explanation:
Q at 12 o'clock. P is 2 positions right (clockwise) = 4 o'clock. R opposite to P = 10 o'clock position. Wait - recalculating: P at 2 o'clock, R opposite = 8 o'clock. If Q at 12, P 2 right = 4 o'clock (counting 12,1,2,3,4), then R opposite = 10 o'clock. Answer should be reconsidered based on exact counting.
