Answers
Answer:
Doctor is in the third position.
Step-by-step explanation:
In the first position of the line( in extremely left ) is the teacher, in the fifth position ( in extremely right) is the buisnessman. The clerk is standing on the fourth position as the buisness man is in extreme right, there would be no one in right of him and it is said left of the buisness man. Now the vacant places are second and third positions. Here the student is said to be in the middle of the teacher and doctor. So between first position( occupied by the teacher and the third position( vacant place). Between 1 and 3 there is the second position. So the student is in second position. And now only the third position is left. In this position there would be the doctor.
1st position = Teacher
2nd position = Student
3rd position = Doctor
4th position = Clerk
5th position = Buisness man
