Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFEight friends: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.
i. B is facing D and is sitting to the right of E.
ii. F, who is neighbour of D, is facing G.
From the above statements the sitting arrangement is as given below:
iii. There are two persons between C and H, and H is not facing E.
From this statement, there are 3 cases possible:
- Now, one place is remaining, and "A" is remaining to sit. so A will sit on that place.
- So, the final sitting arrangement of 8 friends is as given below:
- Now, the question says there is only person between C and E. So, cases 1 and 3 are eliminated.
- In figure (2), when counted from the right of E, we can see that there is only one person between E and C.
As we can see from the figure (2), "B" is sitting between E and C.
Hence, the correct answer is "B".
