Six people (U, V, W, X, Y, Z) sit in a straight row facing north. W is to the immediate right of V. X is between U and V. Y is at the extreme left end. Z is to the right of W. Who is sitting at the extreme right end?
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: C. Z
- Step 1: Analyze seating constraints step-by-step:
- Step 2: Y is at extreme left (position 1): [Y, _, _, _, _, _].
- Step 3: W is to immediate right of V: [V, W].
- Step 4: X is between U and V: [U, X, V].
- Step 5: Combine these blocks: [U, X, V, W].
- Step 6: Place in remaining slots after Y: [Y, U, X, V, W, Z].
- Step 7: Check constraint: Z is to the right of W, occupying position 6 (extreme right).
Answer
Z.
Why not the others: 'W' occupies position 5; 'X' occupies position 3; 'V' occupies position 4.
