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 sits third to the left of the one who likes Guava?

The correct answer is The one who sits immediate left of E.

Let's solve the linear arrangement step-by-step based on the given clues:

1. Total Positions: Six persons (A, B, C, D, E, F) sit in a single row facing North, positioned from 1 (leftmost) to 6 (rightmost).

2. Clue 1: "The one who likes Strawberry sits at the right end."
So, position 6 likes Strawberry.

3. Clue 2: "C sits 3rd to the right of E but not sit at any extreme ends."
Since C does not sit at an extreme end (position 1 or 6), C must be at position 4 or 5.
- If C is at position 5, then E (3rd to the left of C) is at position 2.
- If C is at position 4, then E would be at position 1 (which would mean E is at an extreme end, but let's check if there are restrictions on E. The clue says C doesn't sit at extreme ends. However, if C is at position 5, E is at 2).

4. Clue 3: "B sits 3rd to the left of the one who likes Guava."
This means B can be at position 1 (Guava at 4), position 2 (Guava at 5), or position 3 (Guava at 6).

5. Clue 4: "A sits 2nd to the left of the one who likes Mango, and likes Banana."
So, A likes Banana and sits 2 positions to the left of Mango (A = Mango - 2).

6. Clue 5: "There are as many persons sit to the right of D is same as to the left of the one who likes Apple."

Arranging the positions:
Let's test E at position 2 and C at position 5:
- Person at 6: Likes Strawberry.
- Person at 5: C.
- Person at 2: E.
Now, B sits 3rd to the left of Guava. Since 5 is C and 6 is Strawberry, Guava must be at position 4. Thus, B sits at position 1.
So far: Position 1 = B, Position 2 = E, Position 4 = Guava, Position 5 = C, Position 6 = Strawberry.
Now, A sits 2nd to the left of Mango. The remaining empty positions for persons are 3, 4, 6.
A can be at position 3, which means the person at position 5 (C) likes Mango.
Since A is at position 3, D must be at position 4 or 6. If D is at position 6 (right end), then 0 persons sit to the right of D, which means 0 persons sit to the left of Apple (so B at position 1 likes Apple).
Then F takes position 4.

Let's summarize the final arrangement from Left to Right (Positions 1 to 6):
- Position 1: B (likes Apple)
- Position 2: E (likes Orange)
- Position 3: A (likes Banana)
- Position 4: F (likes Guava)
- Position 5: C (likes Mango)
- Position 6: D (likes Strawberry)

Question: Who among the following sits third to the left of the one who likes Guava?
The person who likes Guava is F at position 4.
The person sitting 3rd to the left of position 4 is position 1, which is B.
Looking at the options, B is the person sitting immediate left of E (since E is at position 2 and B is at position 1).
