Correct Answer :

Option E

A

Solution :

The correct option is A (which corresponds to person C).


Let us determine the exact linear seating arrangement step-by-step from left to right for the seven persons (positions 1 to 7, facing north):

Step 1: Position of E
Since there are 7 persons in total, the person who has an equal number of persons to his left and right must be sitting in the middle position (4th position).
So, E is at position 4: _, _, _, E, _, _, _


Step 2: Position of F
"F sits on the extreme left end of the row."
So, F is at position 1: F, _, _, E, _, _, _


Step 3: Position of B
"There are three persons between F and B."
With F at position 1, counting 3 positions to the right (positions 2, 3, 4), B must be at position 5.
So, the arrangement becomes: F, _, _, E, B, _, _


Step 4: Position of G
"G sits second from one of the ends."
The ends are position 1 and position 7. Position 2 is second from the left end, and position 6 is second from the right end.
Position 6 is available for G.
So, G is at position 6: F, _, _, E, B, G, _


Step 5: Positions of C, A, and D
"A sits immediate right of C."
The remaining available adjacent seats are positions 2 and 3.
Thus, C sits at position 2 and A sits at position 3.
The remaining person D takes the remaining seat at position 7.


Final Seating Arrangement (Left to Right):
Position 1: F
Position 2: C
Position 3: A
Position 4: E
Position 5: B
Position 6: G
Position 7: D


Answering the Question:
F is at position 1 and B is at position 5.
The persons sitting between F and B are at positions 2, 3, and 4 (which are C, A, E).
The person sitting exactly in the middle of F (position 1) and B (position 5) is at position 3, which is C.
