Six people—Alex, Ben, Cara, Dave, Ella, and Frank—are seated in a row facing north. If Cara is sitting exactly between Ben and Dave, and Ben is third to the left of Ella, who is sitting at the extreme left end?
Explanation: Alex is at the extreme left end based on the given clues. Cara must be between Ben and Dave, and Ben is positioned third from the left of Ella, which places Alex at the leftmost position. Ben, Cara, and Frank cannot be at the extreme left end as their positions are defined by the clues. Therefore, Alex is the only logical choice.
Five friends—Jill, Kevin, Liam, Mona, and Nora—are sitting around a circular table facing the center. If Nora is to the immediate right of Mona and directly opposite Kevin, who is sitting between Liam and Mona?
Explanation: Jill is seated between Liam and Mona based on the arrangement derived from the clues provided. Nora is immediately right to Mona, confirming Jill's position between Liam and Mona. Option Nora is already adjacent to Mona, Kevin is seated opposite, and Mona cannot sit between herself and Liam. Thus, Jill is correct.
In a group of four, Sam, Priya, Rahul, and Tina are seated on a bench. Sam is to the immediate left of Tina, and Rahul is not at either end. Who is seated at the rightmost end?
Explanation: Priya must be at the rightmost end since Sam is to the left of Tina and Rahul cannot be at an end. Thus, Rahul and Sam are placed in the middle, with Priya and Tina at the ends. Choosing Sam, Tina, or Rahul conflicts with the given position clues, making Priya the only viable choice.
Seven students—Paul, Rita, Sasha, Trevor, Uma, Vik, and Wendy—are standing in a line. Vik is somewhere to the left of Uma but to the right of Sasha. If Wendy stands next to Paul, who must be in between Sasha and Uma?
Explanation: Vik is the only one who can be between Sasha and Uma since the arrangement specifies Vik is to the left of Uma and to the right of Sasha. Options Wendy, Paul, and Rita are either not mentioned in the specific order or are otherwise positioned, so Vik fits the description precisely.
Eight numbered chairs (marked 1 to 8) are arranged in a straight line. Only even-numbered chairs are occupied. If Thomas is not sitting at chair 2 or 4 and Mia is seated at the extreme right, which chair does Thomas occupy?
Explanation: Thomas must be seated at chair 6 since even-numbered chairs are occupied and he cannot be at chair 2 or 4. Mia is at the extreme right, which is chair 8. Options 2 and 4 are ruled out by the clue, and chair 8 is occupied by Mia. Hence, the only possibility is chair 6.
