• D. Fourth to the right of Maruti
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (A), (D)

Immediate right of Cardilac
Fourth to the right of Maruti

1	2	3	4	5	6	7
Fiat	Bedford	Maruti	Ambassader	Fargo	Cardilac	Mercedes

Since Fargo is to the right of Fiat and Fiat is at one of the ends. This means Fiat is at the left end. Thus, Ambassador is 4th from left and Fargo is fifth from left. Thus, Cadillac is sixth from left. Since Maruti is between Ambassador and Bedford. Bedford is 2nd from left and Maruti is 3rd from left. Thus, Mercedes is 7th from the left since that's the only spot left.
