Concept:This is a linear seating arrangement puzzle. Place the fixed positions first, then fit the remaining people using the given conditions.
Explanation:There are
7 seats, numbered
1 to
7 from left to right.
Only two people sit to the left of
G, so
G is at position
3.
Only one person sits to the right of
B, so
B is at position
6.
Only two people sit between
A and
F, and
A is to the left of
F.
The possible pairs for
A and
F are
(1,4),
(2,5) and
(4,7). But
(2,5) puts
D at position
6, where
B already sits, and
(4,7) would put
D beyond position
7.
So
A is at position
1 and
F is at position
4.
D is immediately to the right of
F, so
D is at position
5.
E is not an immediate neighbour of
G. Position
2 is next to
G, so
E cannot sit there.
Therefore,
E sits at position
7, and the remaining person
C sits at position
2.
The final order is:
A,C,G,F,D,B,E.
Between
E at position
7 and
A at position
1, there are
5 people.
Answer:5 people sit between
E and
A.
Hence, the correct option is option
(3), i.e.
5.
