Linear seating arrangement MCQ — 2 Practice Questions with Answers

Explanation

With seven persons, the middle seat is the fourth. P is in the fourth seat and K is immediately to P's left, so K is third. Since exactly one person is between K and R, R must be first or fifth. T sits between P and S, and there are two persons between T and M. The consistent arrangement is R, M, K, P, T, S, Q from left to right. Thus the persons at the two extreme ends are R and Q. S and T are adjacent inside the row, while K and M are not at the ends.

Explanation

Since everyone faces north, a person's left and right are the same as our left and right on the page. A and B must occupy the two ends. C is immediately to the left of A, so A cannot be at the left end; A must be at the right end and C just before A. E and F take the two central seats, leaving D for the seat next to B. Therefore D sits immediately to the right of B. E and F are central, and A is at the opposite end.
