Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Six personsM, N, O, P, Q, and R were playing a game where they have toarrange six blocks of different shapes namely Circular, Hexagon, Rectangle, Square, Triangle and Octagon one above the other in the form of a stack. Each person put up a different shape which was positioned from 1-6 where 1 is the bottom-most position.
Only one person kept a block between M and the person who kept the rectangle block. M placed hexagon just below Q. The rectangle block was kept at 3rd position. The circular block was kept by R just below M. The triangle was kept at an even position just above P, but not on the top. The difference in the position of the square block and the position at which N kept the block is 3.
Which block was kept below the block kept by O?
  • ARectangle
  • BSquare
  • CCircle
  • DHexagon
