wrong question (Question:145975.0)

In this question there is a line E sits two places away for lotus.

Question:

DIRECTIONS: These questions are based on the following information.


Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H – sit in a straight line facing north. Each one of them uses a different branded lotions among – Ponds, Spinz, Dove, Lotus, Pearl, Yardley, Nivea and Santoor – but not necessarily in the same order. 


The following information is known about their seating arrangements:


Two persons sit between the one who uses Dove and D. Neither the one who uses Dove nor D sit in the fourth place from either ends of the row. E uses Spinz and sits adjacent to neither D nor the one who uses Dove. The one who uses Lotus sits two places away from E. Only one person sits between G and C. Neither C nor G uses Dove and they do not sit adjacent to the one who uses Lotus. The one who uses Ponds sits second to the right of C. H and the one who uses Santoor sits adjacent to each other. Neither A nor F sits adjacent to G. B does not sit at any end of the row and he uses neither Pearl nor Nivea. A neither sits adjacent to D nor uses Nivea.

Which of these sits second to the left of B?

Options:
A)

G

B)

H

C)

A

D)

E

E)

C

Solution:

Ans: (b)

It is given that two persons sit between the one who uses Dove and D. Neither the one who uses Dove nor D sits at the fourth place from either end of the row. Hence they sit at the third place from both the ends in any order. E uses Spinz and sits adjacent to neither D nor the one who uses Dove. The one who uses Lotus sits two places away from E. Hence E sits at one of the ends and D uses Lotus and sits two places away from E. Only one person sits between G and C. Neither C nor G uses Dove and they do not sit adjacent to the one who uses lotus. Hence both C and G are adjacent to the one who uses Dove which can be shown as follows:


The one who uses Ponds sits second to the right of C. Hence G sits second to the right of C and uses Ponds. H and the one who uses Santoor sits adjacent to each other. Hence C uses Santoor and H sits adjacent to C. Neither A nor F sits adjacent to G. B does not sit at any end of the row and he uses neither Pearl nor Nivea. A does not sit adjacent to D and does not use Nivea. Hence A sits at the left end of the row and uses Pearl, B sits to the immediate right of G and uses Yardley. The final seating arrangement is as follows.


H sits second to the left of B.
