Question

A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting on a bench. E and F are sitting in the centre. A and B are sitting on the two corners. C is sitting to the left of A. Who is sitting to the right of B ?

• A. D
• B. C
• C. B
• D. A

Hint:

Corners are A and B. C is left of A, so A is the right corner and B the left. D is next to B.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Idea:
Draw six empty boxes in a row and fill them using the safest clue first.

Step 2: Fill the safest clue:
The centre boxes are 3 and 4, so E and F go there. The corner boxes are 1 and 6, so A and B go there, in some order.

Step 3: Test the two choices for A:
Try A at box 1. Then C must be left of A, which is outside the bench. This is impossible. So A is in box 6 and B is in box 1.

Step 4: Place C and D:
C is left of A, so C is in box 5. D goes to the last empty box, which is box 2.

Step 5: Read the answer:
The box just right of B (box 1) is box 2, and it holds D.

Final Answer:
The answer is D. \[ \boxed{D} \]
