Solution

The correct option is D 3rd
From the first statement, we know that John and Lucy stand at the extreme ends.
So, there could be two possible cases.

Now, we know that Robert is to the left of Lucy. So, John will stand at the first end and Lucy at the other end.

From the last statement, we can conclude that Mary stands between John and James.

Thus, James stands at the 3rd position.
