Question

If $B$ is in lane $4$ and $C$ is in lane $3,$ then $E$ could be in:

• A. lane $1$
• B. lane $2$
• C. lane $1$ or $2$
• D. situation violates the conditions

Answer 1

Answer: (D)

situation violates the conditions

Given : $B$ is in lane $4$ and $C$ is in lane $3.$

It is also given that, $D$ is not in one of the extreme (outermost) lanes. Therefore, $D$ is in lane $2.$

Now, $A$ is left to $C,$ so $A$ will comes in lane $1$ and $E$ will come in lane $5$ which means $B$ and $E$ are adjacent to each other which will contradict the given statement.

Hence, option $\left(D\right)$ is the correct answer.
