Six children, B, C, D, H, L and M, are sitting in a row, facing North. M is at the extreme left end and D is at the extreme right end. H is sitting next to M. L is to the immediate left of D. C is to the immediate left of B.
Who are sitting next to B?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → C and L
Fix the people whose seats are named first (the two ends), then place the others next to them. Number the seats 1 to 6 from the left.
M is at the extreme left (seat 1) and D at the extreme right (seat 6)
H is next to M, so H is in seat 2; L is to the immediate left of D, so L is in seat 5
Seats 3 and 4 are left for C and B; C is to the immediate left of B, so C is in seat 3 and B in seat 4
The row is M, H, C, B, L, D, so the neighbours of B are C and L
