Question

Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a straight line facing the north(but not necessarily in the same order). G and C are sitting at the ends of the line not necessarily in the same order. F is sitting to the immediate right of G and the immediate left of D. E is sitting to the immediate right of D. A is sitting second to the right of E. B is sitting second to the left of C. Who is sitting between B and C?

• A. E
• B. F
• C. A
• D. D

Answer 1

Answer:

C. A

Step 1: Ends of the line

• G and C are sitting at the two ends.

---

Step 2: Use F–G–D–E chain

• F is immediately right of G

• F is immediately left of D

• E is immediately right of D

So the order must be:
G – F – D – E

Since G is at an end, this chain must start from an end.

So G must be at the left end (it cannot be at the right end because there must be people to its right).

Current arrangement:

1   2   3   4   _   _   _
G   F   D   E

Step 3: A is second to the right of E

• From E, move two places right → A

1   2   3   4   5   6   _
G   F   D   E   _   A

---

Step 4: Place C and B

• C is at the other end, so C is at position 7

• B is second to the left of C

So B will be at position 5.

1   2   3   4   5   6   7
G   F   D   E   B   A   C

---

Step 5: Who is between B and C?

• B is at position 5

• C is at position 7

• The person between them is at position 6 → A

---

A is sitting between B and C.
