Instructions

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below :
Nine persons, B, C, D, E, L, M, N, 0 and P are seated in a straight line facing north, with equal distance between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. As many people sit to the left of E as to the right of E. Only one person sits between E and 0. L sits third to the left of P. P is not an Immediate neighbour of 0. Neither P nor D sits at any of the extreme ends of the line. Only three persons sits between B and C.. B is not an Immediate neighbour of E. The number of people sitting between B and E is double as that between E and N.

Question 19

Who amongst the following sit exactly between L and P?

Solution

As many people sit to the left of E as to the right of E, => E sits in the middle.

Only one person sits between E and O

Case 1 : O sits second to the left of E.

L sits third to the left of P and P is not an Immediate neighbour of O. Also, P does not sit at any end.

=> L sits to the immediate left of E and P sits second to the right of E.

Only three persons sits between B and C and B is not an Immediate neighbour of E, => C sits to the immediate right of E and B sits fourth to the left of C.

Since, D does not sit at any end, => D sits to the immediate right of P.

Also, there are two people between B and E, => there should be only 1 person sitting between E and N, which is not possible as shown :


Case 2 : O sits second to the right of E.

L sits third to the left of P and P is not an Immediate neighbour of O. Also, P does not sit at any end.

=> P sits to the immediate left of E and L sits at extreme left end.

Only three persons sits between B and C and B is not an Immediate neighbour of E, => C sits to the immediate right of E and B sits fourth to the left of C.

The number of people sitting between B and E is 2, so number of people sitting between E and N should be 1, => N sits second to the left of E.

Since, D does not sit at any end, => M sits at right end and D to its immediate left. The arrangement :

B and N sit exactly between L and P.

=> Ans - (C)
