Question

In a gathering, seven members are sitting in a row. 'C' is sitting left to 'B' but on the right of 'D'. 'A' is sitting right to 'B'. 'F' is sitting right to 'E' but left to 'D'. 'H' is sitting left to 'E'. Find the person sitting in the middle.

• A. C
• B. D
• C. E
• D. F

Hint:

When arranging people with multiple conditions, try to link the sequences step-by-step and find overlaps.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

Let's analyze the conditions one by one to arrange the seven members in a row. The members are A, B, C, D, E, F, H.
1. 'C' is sitting left to 'B' but on the right of 'D'. This implies: \(D C B\) in this order from left to right.
2. 'A' is sitting right to 'B': So, \(B A\) with A to the right of B.
3. 'F' is sitting right to 'E' but left to 'D': So, \(E F D\) in order from left to right.
4. 'H' is sitting left to 'E': So, \(H E\) in order from left to right.
Putting all conditions together:
From (3) and (4): \(H E F D\)
From (1): \(D C B\)
From (2): \(B A\)
Combining (3) and (1) sequences, since \(D\) is in both, full sequence becomes:
\(H E F D C B A\)
There are seven members, arranged as above.
The person sitting in the middle (4th position) is \(D\).
Hence, the correct answer is (B) D.
