Explanations
Direction (1-5)
The one who is 3rd from the left end earns 18K. One person sits between the one who earns 18K and A.
Case 1:
| A | |||||||
| 18K |
Case 2:
| A | |||||||
| 18K |
Take case 1:
| A | |||||||
| 18K |
The one who earns 24K is the neighbor of the one who earns 18K. O is 2nd to the right of the one who earns 24K. O is not neighbor of the one who earns 18K. So we get this,
| A | O | ||||||
| 18K | 24K |
Q earns 30K and sits one of the ends so Q is at the right end. Q is 2nd to the left of B. So this case gets rejected.
| A | O | Q | |||||
| 18K | 24K | 30K |
Take Case 2:
| A | |||||||
| 18K |
The one who earns 24K is the neighbor of the one who earns 18K. O is 2nd to the right of the one who earns 24K. O is not neighbor of the one who earns 18K.
| A | O | ||||||
| 18K | 24K |
Q earns 30K and sits one of the ends. Q is 2nd to the left of B. So Q is at the left end and B is 3rd from the left end. According to the alphabetical series one letter is between O and the one who is at the right end. So it must be M because Q is already at the left end. N is neighbor of A so N earns 24K. Three people are sitting between O and the one who earns 12K. So the one who earns 12K is immediate right of Q.
| Q | B | N | A | O | M | ||
| 30K | 12K | 18K | 24K |
The one who earns 18K his name’s initial is the next letter of the one who earns 15K. So A earns 15K. The one who earns 26K his name’s initial is the next letter of the one who earns 9K. M neither earns 9K nor 26K. So O earns 9K and P earns 26K and sits 2nd from the right end then M earns 36K.
Here is the final arrangement:
| Q | ——– | B | N | A | O | P | M |
| 30K | 12K | 18K | 24K | 15K | 9K | 26K | 36K |
