Question

Six friends, A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting in a row facing towards East. E and F are in the center, and A and B are at the ends. C is sitting on the left of A. Then match List-I with List-II List-I (A) How many people are there to the right D? (B) Who is sitting on the right of B? (C) Who is immediate left of C? (D) How many people are there to the left of E? List-II (I) F (II) D (III) Four (IV) Two Choose the correct answer from the options given below:

FirstInTest · Accepted Answer

Correct answer: B. Total 6 people: A, B, C, D, E, F. Facing East (right is forward direction).
1. E and F are in the center. This means positions 3 and 4 are E and F.
2. A and B are at the ends. This means positions 1 and 6 are A and B.
3. C is on the left of A.

If A is at position 1, C cannot be to its left. So A must be at position 6. Then B is at position 1.
Arrangement so far: B _ _ _ _ A
C is to the left of A (position 6), so C is at position 5.
Arrangement so far: B _ _ _ C A
E and F are at positions 3 and 4. So: B _ (E/F) (F/E) C A
The only remaining position is 2, which must be D.
Final arrangement: B D (E/F) (F/E) C A

Now answer the questions:
(A) How many people are there to the right of D (position 2)? People to the right are E/F, F/E, C, A (positions 3, 4, 5, 6). That's 4 people. So (A) matches with (III).
(B) Who is sitting on the right of B (position 1)? D is at position 2. So (B) matches with (II).
(C) Who is immediate left of C (position 5)? F (or E) is at position 4. The solution states F. So (C) matches with (I).
(D) How many people are there to the left of E (position 3 or 4)?
If E is at 3, people to its left are B, D (2 people).
If E is at 4, people to its left are B, D, F (3 people).
The options only provide 'Two' (IV). So (D) matches with (IV).

Final Matching: (A)-(III), (B)-(II), (C)-(I), (D)-(IV). This corresponds to option 2.
