In the question number of alphabets are 7 and in the solution it is 8.
I even dont understand how to start this puzzle.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: Refer to the following information for the following questions.


The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order, stand for seven consecutive integers between 1 and 10 both inclusive.

● D is 3 less than A.

● B is the middle term.

● F is as much less than D as C is greater than D and none of three sit adjacent to each other. 

● G is greater than F & E.

Which letter is between F and D?

Options:
A)

C 

B)

E

C)

A 

D)

G

E)

B

Solution:

Ans: (b)

According to the given conditions the following arrangement, (in increasing order is possible. 

We are given that B is exactly the middle term and D is 3 less than A so,

But we are also given that “F is as much less than D as C is greater than D and none of three sit adjacent to each other.” Now as we know F is less than D but is not adjacent to D. So the above case is  ruled out and D would be the term which is exactly less than B. This will give us the following arrangement -


Now G is greater than F & E so G would be the greatest integer.
