In a gathering, seven members are sitting in a row. 'C' is sitting to the left of 'B' but to the right of 'D'. 'A' is sitting to the right of 'B'. 'F' is sitting to the right of 'E' but to the left of 'D'. 'H' is sitting to the left of 'E'. Find the person sitting in the middle.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → D
Each clue fixes the order of two or three people; the clues are joined through the person they share:
C is left of B and right of D: D … C … B
A is right of B: D … C … B … A
F is right of E and left of D: E … F … D … C … B … A
H is left of E: H … E … F … D … C … B … A
This chain already has all seven members, so no one can sit between them and the row is fixed: H, E, F, D, C, B, A. The middle seat of seven is the 4th, which is D.
