Question

Seven people, A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row, facing north. No one sits to the left of C. Only four people sit between C and D. Only three people sit to the right of E. G sits to the immediate left of B. F is not an immediate neighbour of E. How many people sit to the right of A?

• A. 2
• B. 4
• C. 3
• D. 1

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 2

There are 2 people sitting to the right of A.

1. "No one sits to the left of C" means C is at the extreme left (1st position).

2. "Only four people sit between C and D" places D in the 6th position.

3. "Only three people sit to the right of E" places E in the 4th position.

4. "G sits to the immediate left of B" means G and B must sit together. The only consecutive empty spots available are the 2nd and 3rd positions. So, G is 2nd and B is 3rd.

5. "F is not an immediate neighbour of E" means F cannot sit in the 5th position. Therefore, F must take the 7th position.

6. A fills the final remaining spot at the 5th position.

Final Seating Arrangement (Left to Right):

C — G — B — E — A — D — F

Since A is in the 5th position, the two people to the right of A are D and F.
