SSC Selection Post 2021 Question Paper (09-Feb-2022) (Shift-1)
The correct answer is

Second to the left of P

The correct answer is Second to the left of P.

If there are multiple possibilities early on (like N's position), keep track of each framework and see which one allows all subsequent clues to fit. Draw diagrams or write down the positions to help visualize the arrangement as you build it. Once a potential arrangement is complete, double-check it against every single clue to ensure validity. Practice with different types of linear arrangement questions will improve your speed and accuracy in identifying and combining clues effectively.
