Attempted by 37 students.
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Step-by-step reasoning:
From "Arjun is sitting one ladder above Sai and one ladder below Shyam" we get the consecutive order: Shyam, Arjun, Sai.
From "Shyam is between Arjun and Madhav" Madhav must be on the other side of Shyam, giving Madhav, Shyam, Arjun, Sai.
"Raghu is sitting two ladder below Shyam" places Raghu below Sai in the sequence, so the group becomes Madhav, Shyam, Arjun, Sai, Raghu.
"Krish is sitting on the last ladder and beneath Radhe" leaves the remaining two positions as Radhe above Krish at the bottom.
Final top-to-bottom arrangement: Madhav, Shyam, Arjun, Sai, Raghu, Radhe, Krish.
Therefore, the persons sitting next to Raghu are Sai (above) and Radhe (below). The correct answer given the options is Sai.
