Question

Seven persons a, b, c, d, e, f and g are sitting in a straight line (not necessarily in the same order) facing north. only two persons sit between f and g and g sits second to the left of b. d sits third to the left of c. e sits exactly between g and b and b sits at the extreme right end of the row. what is the position of e with respect to a?

a. second to the right
b.second to the left
c. immediate left fourth to the right
d.third to the third

Answer 1

The seating arrangement logic puzzle, positions of the individuals are determined based on the given conditions. The relative position of E with respect to A is identified by the order concluded from their placements.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question involves a logical reasoning and arrangement problem, where seven individuals are positioned in a straight line facing north with certain conditions given for their seating arrangement.


Using the information provided, we can deduce the positions of each person.

1. Since B sits at the extreme right end of the row and G sits second to the left of B, we place B at the rightmost spot and G two places to the left of B.
   
   
2. E is sitting exactly between G and B. As E is between G and B, E must be to the immediate left of B.
   
   
3. With G, E, and B placed, we know that F has to be two spots away from G. Given B is at the extreme end, F must be to the left of G.
   
   
4. D is third to the left of C, thus C cannot be positioned at the two leftmost spots. This helps us determine the placements of D and C relative to each other.
   
   
5. With the positions of B, G, E, F, D, and C determined, A must be placed in the remaining spot.
   
   

When these positions are known, it's possible to answer the question about the position of E with respect to A by looking at the sequence we've created. The options given by the question were in the context of 'to the left' or 'to the right', and we can provide an answer based on this.
