Correct Answer :

Option D

B

Solution :

The correct option is B.


Let us determine the seating arrangement step-by-step for the 7 people (sitting from left to right, facing North):


Step 1: Locate C and V
"Only two people sit to the right of C." This places C at the 5th position from the left.
"V sits to the immediate left of C." This places V at the 4th position.


Step 2: Locate U
"Only two people sit between C and U." Counting two spots to the left of C (positions 4 and 3), U sits at the 2nd position.


Step 3: Locate A
"Only two people sit between A and V." Since V is at the 4th position, placing two people between A and V to the left (positions 3 and 2) puts A at the 1st position.


Step 4: Locate W and T
"T sits to the immediate right of W." The only adjacent empty spots left are at positions 6 and 7. Therefore, W sits at the 6th position and T sits at the 7th position.


Step 5: Place the remaining person
The only empty spot left is at the 3rd position, which must be occupied by B.


Final Seating Order (Left to Right):
Position 1: A
Position 2: U
Position 3: B
Position 4: V
Position 5: C
Position 6: W
Position 7: T


Thus, B sits at the third position from the left end of the line.
