Counting from the left, in which position is $A$ sitting?

• A. $2$
• B. $3$
• C. $5$
• D. Cannot be determined from the given conditions

Answer 1

Answer: (B)

$3$

$E$ is on the left end of the bench, so $E$ is the left most person.

As $A$ is right to the $B$ and $E$, and $A$ is next to $B$.

So, $E\to B\to A$ is the sitting arrangement of $A,B$ and $E$.

As $C$ is next to $D$ and $C$ is second from right.

So, $E\to B\to A\to C\to D$ is the sitting arrangement of $A,B,C,D,E$.

Hence, $A$ is third from the left.
