arrangement. A) D is four places away from G. B) E is to the left of F. C) C is to the immediate right of A and D is
at an extreme end. D) The no. of persons to the right of B is same as the no. of persons to the left of G.If E is to
the second position from the left, then who is two places away from A?
Select one:
a. F
b. B
c. E
d. G​

Answer 1

F is two places away from A.

• From the conditions, we get:

1. D is at an extreme end so it can be either the left end or the right end.

D _ _ _ _ _ _

Or

_ _ _ _ _ _ D

2. D is four places away from G, so we can say that there are three people between D and G.

D _ _ _ G _ _

Or

_ _ G _ _ _ D

3. The no. of persons to the right of B is same as the no. of persons to the left of G

D _ B _ G _ _

Or

_ _ G _ B _ D

4. E is to the second position from the left

D E B _ G _ _

Or

_ E G _ B _ D

5. C is to the immediate right of A

D E B _ G A C

Or

_ E G _ B _ D ( no two consecutive places are vacant and so we eliminate this possibility)

So the final arrangement is:

D E B F G A C

As we can see, F is two places away from A.
