Sunil and Sanjay are sitting together. Based on the above sitting arrangements, answer the following question.

What side is Sumit sitting on?

• A. Second place from the right.
• B. Second place from the left.
• C. Extreme left
• D. Extreme the right.
• E. In the middle of all.

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

Extreme left

Sumit is at left end. Bindu isn't sitting with Sumit. Sunil is to right of Sunita so he can't sit to the right of Sumit. Sanjay is sitting next to Bindu and Sunil, thus he can't sit next to Sumit. Thus, Sunita is 2nd from left end. This means Sunil is 3rd from left end. This means Sanjay is 4th from left end. Thus, Bindu is 5th from left end.
