Eight persons namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a straight line from East to West. Some are facing North direction and some are facing South direction. H sits to the third left of C and faces South. F is sitting at one of the extreme ends and is facing North. B and G are facing in same direction and person sitting between them is facing in opposite direction. A is sitting third from left end and is facing South direction. A is sitting adjacent to and both are facing in opposite direction. is sitting to the right of and both are facing in same direction. C is facing in North direction. A and D are not neighbours. Neighbors of H are facing in same direction which is opposite to the direction of H is facing. E sits to the right of A . Who sits to the left of A ?
Options
- AB
- BD
- CH
- DG
Correct answer
A. B
Step-by-step solution
To solve this, we map the positions 1 to 8 (Left/West to Right/East) based on the provided conditions:
- A sits 3rd from the left end (Pos 3) and faces South.
- E sits to the right of A (Pos 2 or 1) and is adjacent to A. Thus, E is at Pos 2 facing North (opposite to A).
- F is at an extreme end facing North. Since E is at Pos 2, F must be at Pos 8.
- H (South) is 3rd to the left of C (North). Placing C at Pos 7 puts H at Pos 4.
- H's neighbors (Pos 3 and Pos 5) face North.
- Remaining: B, G, D. D is right of B. Since B and G face the same direction, and B must be at Pos 1 to satisfy D being to its right, B sits at Pos 1.
Since A faces South, his "left" is toward the West (Position 1). B (Pos 1) sits 3rd to the left of A (Pos 3).
Correct Option: (A) B
