Six persons M, N, O, P, Q, and R sit around a circular table facing the center. The distance between adjacent persons is equal. The sum of the ages of the persons sitting opposite each other is 36 years. Each person's age is between 13 and 23 years inclusive. P sits opposite the person who is 16 years old. There is exactly one person sitting between P and the person who is 5 years younger than P. R sits second to the right of the youngest person. M is one year younger than R, and R's age is an even number. Q sits immediately to the right of N. O’s age is an odd number.

Question: The person who is 16 years old sits second to the right of which of the following persons?

Question

Six persons M, N, O, P, Q, and R sit around a circular table facing the center. The distance between adjacent persons is equal. The sum of the ages of the persons sitting opposite each other is 36 years. Each person's age is between 13 and 23 years inclusive. P sits opposite the person who is 16 years old. There is exactly one person sitting between P and the person who is 5 years younger than P. R sits second to the right of the youngest person. M is one year younger than R, and R's age is an even number. Q sits immediately to the right of N. O’s age is an odd number.

Question: The person who is 16 years old sits second to the right of which of the following persons?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. Since the sum of ages of persons sitting opposite each other is 36, and there are 6 persons, the pairs are:
   - Pair 1: P and person aged 16 (given)
   - Pair 2: M and Q
   - Pair 3: N and O

2. Given ages from the extracted data:
   - R = 16 (even number)
   - M = 15 (one year younger than R)
   - N = 23
   - Q = 21
   - P = 20
   - O = 13 (odd number)

3. Check pairs sum to 36:
   - P (20) + 16 = 36 (P opposite R)
   - M (15) + Q (21) = 36
   - N (23) + O (13) = 36

4. P sits opposite the 16-year-old person, who is R.

5. One person sits between P and the person who is 5 years younger than P:
   - P is 20, 5 years younger is 15 (M).

6. R sits second to the right of the youngest person (O, 13 years old).

7. Q sits immediately to the right of N.

8. O’s age is odd, which matches 13.

9. The question asks: The person who is 16 years old (R) sits second to the right of which person?

10. From the arrangement, R (16) sits second to the right of O (13).

**Answer:** (c) O
