A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a line facing west. A and B are sitting together. C is sitting at the south end and D is sitting at the north end. E is a neighbour of B and C. Who is sitting in the middle?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → B
The five sit in one line, with D at the north end and C at the south end; the clues fill the three places between them.
E is a neighbour of both B and C. C is at the end, so E sits next to C (4th from the north) and B sits on E’s other side (3rd).
A sits next to B, and the only place left is the 2nd, between D and B. The order from north to south is D, A, B, E, C, so B is in the middle.
