MY SOLUTION (Question: 145991.0 )

EBDCA

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below it


Five friends A,B,C,D and E are sitting on a bench.

(1) A is sitting next to B.

(2) D is sitting next to C.

(3) D is not sitting with E.

(4) E is on the left end of the bench.

(5) C is on the second position from the right.

(6) A is on the right of B and E.

(7) A and C are sitting together.

Where is A sitting?

Options:
A) Between B and D
B) Between D and C
C) Between E and D
D) Between B and C
E) None of these
Solution:

Ans: (d) First of all we see that the 4th and the 5th sentences constitute definite information; 1st, 2nd, 6th and 7th constitute comparative information while the 3rd is a negative information.

Starting with the definite information, you can immediately draw the following arrangement:

E     ___    ___     C     ___ 

Now let us look for the comparative informations that tell about E and C. These are the 2nd, 6th and 7th sentences. Take the 7th sentence and the 1st sentence. If A and C are together and also B and A are together, then A must be between B and C. This leads to:

E     B     A     C     ___

Now, by virtue of the 2nd sentence

E     B     A     C     D
