Seven persons A, B, C, D, E, F and G sit in a row facing north. They have different elements named copper, nickel, gold, mercury, aluminum, silver and iron. The information is not used in the same order as given. The one who have gold sits third to the left of D, none of them sits at any of the extreme ends. E sits immediate right of the one who have gold. B and E sit adjacent to each other. The one who have iron sits second to the left of B. Two persons sit between G and F. The one who has mercury sits fourth to the right of G. The one who have copper sits immediate right of the one who has silver. The one who have nickel sits to the left of F and to the right of A.
What is the position of G with respect to A?
Correct Answer :
Immediate right
Solution :
To find the position of G with respect to A, we can determine the step-by-step arrangement of the seven persons A, B, C, D, E, F, and G sitting in a row facing north (numbered 1 to 7 from left to right) along with their corresponding elements.
Step 1: Analyze the position of D and the person who has gold
According to the clues:
Step 2: Position E, B, and the one with iron
We are given:
Case B: Gold is at 3, D is at 6.
Then E is at 4 (immediate right of 3). Since B is adjacent to E (at 4), B can be at 3 or 5.
Step 3: Position G, F, and the one with mercury
We are given:
Step 4: Position the remaining elements and persons
Currently, our arrangement is:
Final Seating Arrangement:
1. A (Iron)
2. G (Nickel)
3. B (Gold)
4. E (Silver)
5. F (Copper)
6. D (Mercury)
7. C (Aluminum)
Comparing the positions of A (position 1) and G (position 2), G sits Immediate right of A.
