DIRECTIONS for the following three questions: Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.
Seven varsity basketball players (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) are to be honoured at a special luncheon. The players will be seated on the dais in a row. A and G have to leave the luncheon early and so must be seated at the extreme right. B will receive the most valuable player's trophy and so must be in the centre to facilitate presentation. C and D are bitter rivals and therefore must be seated as far apart as possible.
We are given that A and G sit to the extreme right on the dias, but the order is not mentioned. So, seats 6 and 7 must be A and G in some order.
B sits in the middle of the presentation, occupying seat number 4.
C and D have to be seated as far as possible, and seats 4, 6 and 7 are already occupied. So, C and D must be placed in seats 1 and 5 in some order.
The seats left are 2 and 3, and E and F have to be placed in those seats in some order.
Putting all the information in the table, we get,
All the combinations mentioned in options A, B and DÂ are possible from the above configuration. However, the combination mentioned in option C is not possible as E and G cannot be seated on either side of B.
Hence, the correct answer is option C.
