Seven travelers—A, B, C, D, E, F, and G—are seated in a single straight row, all facing North, ready to depart for different destinations: Tokyo, Paris, London, New York, Sydney, Rome, and Cairo. The arrangement of the travelers and their destinations is based on the following conditions:

G sits at the other extreme end of the row.
The visitor of New York sits exactly in the middle of the row.
The number of people to the left of B is equal to the number of people to the right of F.

The correct answer is Five.

Let us analyze the seating arrangement step-by-step based on the conditions given in the problem statement.

Step 1: Identify the positions in the row
There are 7 travelers (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) seated in a single straight row facing North.
Let us designate the positions from 1 to 7 from Left to Right:

Positions: 1,2,3,4,5,6,7

Step 2: Determine the positions of A and G
- Condition: "A sits at one of the extreme ends of the row and visits Paris."
- Condition: "G sits at the other extreme end of the row."
- Condition: "F visits Rome and sits to the immediate left of G, who visits Cairo."
Since F sits to the immediate left of G, G must be at the rightmost extreme end (Position 7). Consequently, A must be seated at the leftmost extreme end (Position 1).

Thus, we have:

Position 1 = A (Paris)

Position 7 = G (Cairo)

Position 6 = F (Rome)

Step 3: Count the travelers between A and G
Since A is at Position 1 and G is at Position 7, the travelers seated between them occupy Positions 2, 3, 4, 5, and 6.

The total number of people sitting between A and G is calculated as:

7-1-1=5

These 5 positions are occupied by B, C, D, E, and F.

Therefore, there are Five travelers seated between A and G.
