Q. Five persons --- A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a row. Who is sitting in the middle?
I. B is in between E and C.
II. B is to the right of E.
III. D is in between A and E.
A. I and II together
B. II and III together
C. I and III together
D. I, II and III together
E. Data insufficient

-
- from the 1st clue E B C ....(i)
from the 2nd clue B is right i.e E B C is correct pattrn.
frm 3rd cue D is btwwn A & E i.e . A D E B C.
so E is in the middle position,
option D is correct . - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(26) No(13)
- ans is C
as I says B in between E and C so EBC
and III says D is between A and E so ADE
combining them we get ADEBC
So C is the answer
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(26) No(8)
- option D
from I we get= E B C or C B E
from II we get = EB
from III we get = A D E or E D A
from D we get A D E B C hence E is at the middle - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(12) No(0)
- A,B,C,D,E
accrdng to I,
E,B,C
nd accrdng to III,
A,D,E
combind both condition,
A,D,E,B,C
and Man who is sitting in middle is 'E'.
we have to not need of condition II,
we can easily find out ans from I nd III.
so answer is option (C). - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(11) No(7)
- answer is D) I ,II and III together
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(4)
- data insufficient
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(3) No(1)
- Option B is correct.
From II, B is to the right of E. From III, D is btw A and E.
So we know the sitting pattern who sits in the middle.
Its either i)ADEBC or ii)ADECB - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- Ans is C
from 1 we get EBC
From 3 we can say ADEBC, SO E is in middle - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(0)
- The correct option is C) I and III combined.
statement II is useless..
There can be two arrangements if we consider Statement I and III as follows:
A D E B C
C B E D C
I both cases we see that E is in the middle, so we can ignore statement II.
So, Option C Is Correct!!
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(2) No(2)
- Sitting arrangement satisfies all I II III clues as follows ADEBC
so the answer is D - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- A,B,C,D,E
accrdng to I,
E,B,C
nd accrdng to III,
A,D,E
combind both condition,
A,D,E,B,C
and Man who is sitting in middle is 'E'.
we have to not need of condition II,
we can easily find out ans from I nd III.
so answer is option (C). - 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(2)
- Ans: C.
From I we get (E B C) or (C B E)
From II e get (A D E B C) OR (C B E D A)
in both cases, E is sitting in the middle, no need to worry about proper arrangement. So, II is irrelevant. - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- C is correct
@moumita,let hide the II,now solve it,u get the same pattern.try it - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(1)
- here, B is between E and C and B is right of E
E-B-C......
D is in between A and E
A-D-E-B-C....
Answer: C - 5 years agoHelpfull: Yes(1) No(0)
- ans should be less than 30 hours.
why because every incremented min should be calculated one .?
- 11 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- 1,2,3 together are sufficient
- 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- adeb......
ans d - 10 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- D...is answer
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
- E. Data insufficient
- 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(1)
- by I E B C or C B E
Then using III A D E or E D A
E is in middle - 7 years agoHelpfull: Yes(0) No(0)
