Question and options
Ram, Madhav, Shilpa, Sonali, Namita, Rohan and Preetha are to be seated in a row. Ram and Preetha must be seated at extreme right. Madhav should be at the centre, Shilpa and Sonali don't like each other and want to sit as far apart as possible.
Who cannot be seated at either end?
Who cannot be seated at either end?
- Shilpa
- Sonali
- Rohan
- Preetha
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C - Rohan
Seven seats 1-7 (left to right): Ram and Preetha take seats 6 and 7 (either order), Madhav the centre seat 4, and Shilpa and Sonali sit as far apart as possible in seats 1 and 5 (either order). Namita and Rohan must fill seats 2 and 3. So Rohan can never sit at an end, whereas Shilpa or Sonali may take seat 1 and Preetha may take seat 7.
