Question

Dennis and fourteen of his friends from the football club are going to the theatre to watch their favorite superhero movie.
The theatre has exactly 15 seats in each row, and Dennis wants to occupy the seat right in the middle.
Which seat should he pick?

• A. Seat number 9
• B. Seat number 8
• C. Seat number 10
• D. Seat number 11

Answer 1

The correct option is B Seat number 8

Since Dennis wants to occupy the middle seat, we need to find the median position of the seats.

From the above statement, we know that there are 15 seats.

Counting them, we see:


There will be 7 chairs on the either side, and Dennis should occupy the 8th chair.

Hence, Dennis should select seat number 8.
