A certain number of people are sitting in a row facing north. A sits fifth to the left of B. E is an immediate neighbour of B. F sits second to the left of A and is second from one of the extreme ends of the row. Only one person sits between B and G. E is not an immediate neighbour of G. K sits fourth to the right of G. No one sits to the right of K. Five persons sit between K and T. Who among the following sits seventh from the left end of the row?

Correct answer: G

Solution

Since F is second from one extreme end and second to the left of A, the positions can be built from that anchor. Using the constraints on B, G, K, and T, the arrangement becomes fixed, and G occupies the seventh position from the left end.
