According to the question, the arrangement is as follows: 1. D is fourth to the right of H and second to the left of B. 2. F is fourth to the right of B. 3. C is fourth to the right of E, who is not an immediate right of B or D. On combining these three statements we get two possible cases for the position of C and E. Case 1: When C is sitting between B and D.
Case 2: When C is sitting between B and H.
4. A is not an immediate neighbour of D. 5. G is not an immediate neighbour of B. On combining these two statements , our case 2 will be eliminated, as in this case G will be immediate neighbour of B. Hence, the final arrangement is:
From the above arrangement, In GCD combination the third person sitting in between the first and the second persons. Hence, option 3 is the correct answer. |
