\nThe correct option is C, indicating Z will have the central position.
\n<\/section>\n
\nWe are given a set of comparative statements about the richness of five individuals: X, Y, Z, P, and Q. We need to establish the relative order of their richness and find the person in the middle position.
\n<\/section>\n
\nThe given statements are:
\n1. X is richer than Y (Y < X)\n2. Z is richer than X (X < Z)\nCombining statements 1 and 2: Y < X < Z.\n3. P is richer than Z (Z < P)\nCombining with the previous order: Y < X < Z < P.\n4. Q is the richest of all. This means Q is richer than P, and therefore richer than everyone else.\nAdding Q to the order: Y < X < Z < P < Q.\nThere are 5 individuals in the order of increasing richness: Y, X, Z, P, Q.\nIn a list of 5 items, the central position is the 3rd position. In the order Y < X < Z < P < Q, the person in the 3rd position is Z.\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
