A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row. C is between D and A. E is neither at the end, nor next to D, and is to the left of B who is last. Who is to the right of D?
- AB
- BE
- CA
- DC
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's determine the step-by-step positions of the five persons facing North (Left to Right):B is at the last position (extreme right end): _ _ _ _ B.E is to the left of B and not at the end, nor next to D. Since B is 5th, E must be in the 4th position: _ _ _ E B.C is between D and A. The remaining positions are 1, 2, and 3. For C to be between D and A, C must be in the middle of them (position 2).Thus, the arrangement must be D C A E B or A C D E B.We are given that E is not next to D. In the arrangement A C D E B, D would be next to E, which violates the condition. Therefore, the correct arrangement is:D C A E BLooking at the arrangement D C A E B, the person immediately to the right of D is C.
