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. Who sits third to the right of Kiran?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pooja. 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 is in chair two; three places to the right is chair five, Pooja.
