Question

Six people A, B, C, D, E and F are standing in a straight line facing north, but not necessarily in the same order. B is standing second to the right of D. A is standing fourth to the left of F and F is not standing on the extreme end of the line. C is standing second to the right of B.

Based on the above arrangement, four of the following five are alike in certain way so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to the group?
(a)D, A
(b)A, E
(c)B, E
(d)F, B
(e)E, D

Answer 1

To solve this logical reasoning question, we need to determine the positions of each person based on the given information. The answer is F, B.

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question, we need to determine the positions of each person. Let's start with the given information:

• B is second to the right of D
• A is fourth to the left of F
• F is not on either end of the line
• C is second to the right of B

From the information, we can deduce the order of the line:

F _ _ A _ _ _

Now let's consider the other clues:

• B is second to the right of D, so D must be before B in the line: F _ _ A D _ _
• C is second to the right of B, so C must be after B: F _ _ A D _ C

Based on the arrangement, we can see that the pairs D, A and B, E are the same in certain ways. However, the pair F, B does not belong to this group. Therefore, the answer is (d) F, B.
