Seven persons, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are standing in a row, facing North. A is at the right end of the row. B is fourth to the left of A. C is an immediate neighbour of B. D is second to the right of C. E and A are immediate neighbours. G is to the left of C.
Who is third to the right of C?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → F
Facing North, a person’s right is the right side of the row. Number the places 1 to 7 from the left and start from the person whose place is given.
A is at the right end: place 7. B is fourth to the left of A: place 3
E is next to A: place 6
C is next to B, so C is in place 2 or 4; D is second to the right of C, so D would be in place 4 or 6
Place 6 is E’s, so C is not in place 4: C is in place 2 and D in place 4
G is to the left of C, so G is in place 1, and F takes the last place, 5
The row is G, C, B, D, F, E, A. Third to the right of C (place 2 + 3 = place 5) is F
