Ordering — who sits farthest to the right? Harish sits to the right of Satish. Satish sits between Manish and Girish. Who sits farthest to the right on the row?

Difficulty: Easy

Correct Answer: Harish

Explanation:


Introduction / Context:
We have a short row-order relation with one “between” and one “right of” clue; we are asked for the rightmost person.



Given Data / Assumptions:

  • Satish is between Manish and Girish.
  • Harish is to the right of Satish.
  • Row is left→right; “between” means strictly in the interior.


Concept / Approach:
From “Satish between Manish and Girish,” one of the two orders must hold: Manish – Satish – Girish or Girish – Satish – Manish. In either case, at least one of {Manish, Girish} is to the right of Satish.



Step-by-Step Solution:
Harish is to the right of Satish, so Harish must be placed on the side of Satish that already has either Manish or Girish.To maximize “farthest to the right,” place Harish further right than whichever of Manish/Girish is on the right side of Satish.Hence Harish can (and must) be the rightmost without violating any clue.



Verification / Alternative check:
Try both “Manish – Satish – Girish” and “Girish – Satish – Manish” and push Harish to the right end; both satisfy the clues.



Why Other Options Are Wrong:
Satish is not at an end (he is between). Manish/Girish can be right of Satish but need not be at the extreme; Harish can always be placed farther right.



Final Answer:
Harish
