Question

Five friends $A,B,C,D$ and $E$ are standing in a row facing south but not necessarily in the same order. Only $B$ is between $A$ and $E$, $C$ is immediate right to $E$ and $D$ is immediate left to $A$. On the basis of above information, which of the following statements is definitely true?

• A. $B$ is left of $A$
• B. $B$ is to the right of $E$
• C. $A$ is second to the left of $C$
• D. $D$ is third to the left of $E$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $D$ is third to the left of $E$

The standing arrangement of 5 friends $A,B,C,D,E$ is given by $D\to A\to B\to E\to C$.

Clearly, from the arrangement $D$ is third to the left of $E$.

Hence, option D is correct.
