Difficulty: Easy
Correct Answer: O
Explanation:
Introduction / Context:
A straightforward single-row ordering with relative left–right statements. We need the person on the extreme right end.
Given Data / Assumptions:
Concept / Approach:
Combine partial orders: from M < N < Q and Q < P? No—actually P is right of Q ⇒ Q < P; then P < O gives full chain M < N < Q < P < O.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Arrange left→right: M, N, Q, P, O.The rightmost is O.
Verification / Alternative check:
All three statements are satisfied by the lineup above.
Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Any choice other than O contradicts the established chain.
Common Pitfalls:
Accidentally reversing the “left of”/“right of” inequalities.
Final Answer:
O
