Study the information carefully and answer the questions given below

Six persons i.e. A, B, C, D, E and F sit in row such that all of them face in the north direction. They all like
different fruits i.e. Mango, Strawberry, Guava, Orange, Apple and Banana but not necessarily in the same
order.
The one who likes Strawberry sits at the right end. B sits 3rd to the left of the one who likes Guava. A sits 2nd
to the left of the one who likes Mango, and likes Banana. C sits 3rd to the right of E but not sit at any extreme
ends. There are as many persons sit to the right of D is same as to the left of the one who likes Apple.

Who among the following likes Guava?

The correct option is F.

Let us solve the linear seating arrangement step-by-step based on the given clues:

1. Understanding the Setup:
There are 6 persons: A, B, C, D, E, F sitting in a single row facing North.
Positions are numbered 1 to 6 from Left to Right (1 is Extreme Left, 6 is Extreme Right).

2. Analyzing Clue 1:
"The one who likes Strawberry sits at the right end."
⇒ Position 6 = Strawberry.

3. Analyzing Clue 2:
"C sits 3rd to the right of E but not sit at any extreme ends."
Since C does not sit at position 6 (extreme right), C can only be at position 4 or 5.
If C is at position 4, then E (3 places to the left) must be at position 1.
If C is at position 5, then E must be at position 2.

4. Analyzing Clue 3:
"B sits 3rd to the left of the one who likes Guava."
This means B and the person who likes Guava are separated by 2 people (B _ _ Guava).
So B can be at position 1, 2, or 3.

5. Analyzing Clue 4:
"A sits 2nd to the left of the one who likes Mango, and likes Banana."
This means A likes Banana, and the Mango lover is 2 places to A's right (A _ Mango).

6. Placing the Persons:
Let's test position for E and C:
Case 1: If E = 1, then C = 4.
Remaining positions for A, B, D, F are 2, 3, 5, 6.
Since A sits 2nd to the left of Mango, A can be at position 3 (Mango at 5) or position 2 (Mango at 4, but C is at 4).
If A is at 3, Mango is at 5.
Then B must be at position 2 (since 1 is E). B sits 3rd to the left of Guava, so Guava must be at position 5. But position 5 is already Mango. So this case fails.

Case 2: If E = 2, then C = 5.
Now, B must be at position 1, because B sits 3rd to the left of Guava, which puts Guava at position 4.
Positions remaining for A, D, F are 3, 4, 6.
Since A sits 2nd to the left of Mango, A must be at position 4 (Mango at 6) or A is at 3 (Mango at 5, but C is at 5).
Therefore, A = 4, and Mango = 6 (Strawberry & Mango is not possible unless Strawberry is not 6, but 6 is Strawberry).
Wait, let's re-verify A's position:
If A = 3, Mango = 5 (C likes Mango).
Then positions left for D and F are 4 and 6.
Let's check the clue: "There are as many persons sit to the right of D is same as to the left of the one who likes Apple."
If D = 6 (0 persons to the right of D), then 0 persons sit to the left of Apple, meaning Position 1 (B) likes Apple.
Then F must be at Position 4.
Let's check the arrangement now:
Position 1: B (Apple)
Position 2: E
Position 3: A (Banana)
Position 4: F (Guava)
Position 5: C (Mango)
Position 6: D (Strawberry)

7. Verification of all conditions:
- All 6 persons face North: B, E, A, F, C, D.
- Strawberry sits at the right end: D likes Strawberry (Position 6).
- B sits 3rd to the left of Guava: B is at 1, F (Guava) is at 4. (1 + 3 = 4, correct).
- A sits 2nd to the left of Mango, and likes Banana: A is at 3, C (Mango) is at 5. (3 + 2 = 5, correct). A likes Banana.
- C sits 3rd to the right of E and not at extreme end: E is at 2, C is at 5. (2 + 3 = 5, correct, 5 is not an extreme end).
- Persons to the right of D (0) = Persons to the left of Apple (0, B likes Apple). (Correct).
- Remaining fruit for E is Orange (Position 2).

Thus, F is the person who likes Guava.
