Five people are standing in a ticket booking line. A, C and D are standing together, D is between A and C. A is immediately behind B and E is immediately behind C. Who is standing second last in the line?

Let the five people are standing in line from West to East facing West.

A, C and D are standing together, D is between A and C. The two possibilities are

(i) A, D, C

(ii)C, D, A

A is immediately behind B and E is immediately behind C. In the second possibility, E cannot be placed. Hence possibility (ii) is eliminated. The only remaining possibility is

(i) B, A , D, C, E

$$\therefore\ $$C is standing second last in the line.

Hence, the correct answer is Option A
