Directions: Study the details below and answer the question that follows.
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:
A sits at one of the extreme ends of the row and visits Paris.
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.
C visits Tokyo and sits to the immediate right of B.
F visits Rome and sits to the immediate left of G, who visits Cairo.
E sits adjacent to F.
Which of the following destinations does D visit?
Correct Answer :
New York
Solution :
Correct Answer: New York
Step-by-Step Explanation:
Step 1: Understand the Seating Layout
There are 7 travelers (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) seated in a straight row, all facing North. Let us designate their positions from left to right as positions 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, and 7.
Step 2: Fix the End Seats and Adjacent Positions
1. Positions of A and G: A sits at one extreme end, and G sits at the other extreme end.
2. Positions of F and G: F sits to the immediate left of G. Since F is to the left of G, G must be at the rightmost end (Position 7), which means A must be at the leftmost end (Position 1).
3. Destinations of A, F, and G:
• Position 1: A (Visits Paris)
• Position 7: G (Visits Cairo)
• Position 6: F (Visits Rome, sitting to the immediate left of G)
Step 3: Determine the Positions of E, B, C, and D
1. Position of E: E sits adjacent to F. Since Position 7 is already occupied by G, E must sit at Position 5.
2. Position of B: The number of people to the left of B is equal to the number of people to the right of F. There is 1 person to the right of F (G at Position 7). Therefore, there must be 1 person to the left of B, placing B at Position 2.
3. Position of C: C sits to the immediate right of B, which puts C at Position 3 (Visits Tokyo).
4. Position of D: The only remaining unoccupied seat in the row is Position 4, so D must sit at Position 4.
Step 4: Determine D's Destination
The clue states that the visitor of New York sits exactly in the middle of the row.
In a row of 7 seats, the middle seat is Position 4.
Since D is seated at Position 4, D visits New York.
Complete Seating Arrangement (Left to Right):
• Position 1: A — Paris
• Position 2: B — London / Sydney
• Position 3: C — Tokyo
• Position 4: D — New York
• Position 5: E — Sydney / London
• Position 6: F — Rome
• Position 7: G — Cairo
