Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 1 i.e. One.
Let's analyze the given information step by step to find the positions of each teddy bear:
Orange teddy is adjacent to the Grey teddy. Since the Grey teddy cannot be at the ends, it must be in the middle.
- Row 1: [ _ _ O G _ _ _ ]
Pink teddy does not face the Orange one. So, Pink teddy cannot be adjacent to the Orange teddy. It must be adjacent to the Yellow teddy.
- Row 2: [ _ P _ _ _ _ _ ]
White teddy faces the one that is second to the right of the Grey teddy. Since Grey teddy is in the middle, the one second to its right is the Orange teddy. So, the White teddy faces the Orange teddy.
- Row 2: [ _ P _ W _ _ _ ]
The Black one is second to the right of the Pink teddy. So, Black teddy must be adjacent to the Red teddy.
- Row 2: [ _ P B W _ _ _ ]
The Brown teddy is not at any of the corners and not at any extreme end. So, the Brown teddy must be placed between the Yellow and Grey teddies in Row 1.
- Row 1: [ _ B O G Y _ _ ]
The Grey teddy faces the Red one. Since Grey teddy is facing Red, Red teddy must be adjacent to the Black teddy.
- Row 2: [ R P B W _ _ _ ]
Now, we have arranged all the teddy bears according to the given conditions.
The number of teddies between Red and White teddies is 1 (Black teddy).
Hence, the correct answer is One.
