Six persons A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting in two rows with three persons in each row. People of both the rows are facing each other. E is not at the end of any row. D is second to the left of F. C is the neighbour of E and diagonally opposite to D. B is the neighbour of F. Who is in front of F?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → C
The two rows face each other, so every person has someone directly in front in the other row. Fix the clue that places people for certain first, then fill the seats one clue at a time.
D is second to the left of F, so D and F sit at the two ends of one row (call it row 1), with one seat between them.
E is not at an end, so E has a middle seat. In row 1 its neighbours would be D and F, leaving no seat beside E for C; so E is in the middle of row 2.
B is the neighbour of F, and the only free seat beside F is the middle of row 1: B sits between D and F.
C sits beside E and diagonally opposite D, that is, at the end of row 2 in front of F; A takes the other end, in front of D.
