Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below.
Ten persons—V, W, X, Y, Z and A, B, C, D, E—are sitting in two parallel rows containing five persons each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In Row 1, V, W, X, Y, and Z are sitting and all of them are facing South. In Row 2, A, B, C, D, and E are sitting and all of them are facing North. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement, each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row.
A sits at the exact middle of Row 2. The person who faces A sits second to the left of Y. Only one person sits between Y and W. E faces W and sits second to the left of B. C sits to the immediate left of E. Z sits to the immediate left of V.
How many persons sit between C and the person who faces W?
Correct Answer :
None
Solution :
The correct answer is None.
We can solve this question directly by analyzing the key statements given in the problem regarding the positions of the individuals:
Step 1: Identify "the person who faces W".
The problem explicitly states: "E faces W".
Therefore, the person who faces W is E.
Step 2: Determine the number of persons between C and E.
The problem also states: "C sits to the immediate left of E."
Since C sits immediately adjacent to E, there are no individuals sitting between C and E.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Since the person who faces W is E, and C is sitting immediately next to E, the number of persons sitting between C and the person who faces W is 0 (or None).
