Six friends, Kiran, Lata, Mohan, Naina, Om and Pooja, sit on a row of six chairs at a school function, all facing north. Lata sits at the right end. Kiran sits second from the left end. Exactly two people sit between Kiran and Pooja. Mohan sits immediately to the left of Pooja. Naina is not an immediate neighbour of Mohan. How many people sit between Naina and Mohan?

Question

Accepted Answer

Two. Kiran is second from the left; two people between Kiran and Pooja puts Pooja fifth, and Mohan fourth. Lata is sixth. Naina and Om take the first and third chairs; Naina cannot sit third (next to Mohan), so the order from the left is Naina, Kiran, Om, Mohan, Pooja, Lata. Kiran and Om sit between Naina (first) and Mohan (fourth): two people.
