Question

A, B, C, D and E are in a row. A is between D and C, B is between A and C, D is between C and E. Which letter is in the middle?

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A

• E --- D --- A --- B --- C

• First, we know that D is between C and E, so we have: C — D — E

• Next, A is between D and C, which means we need to place A between these two letters: C — A — D — E

• But this creates a contradiction because we can't have A between C and D while also having D between C and E.

• The only way to satisfy all conditions is to arrange them in a line as: E — D — A — B — C
