Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H sit in a row facing north. C sits third from the left end. D sits third to the right of C. G sits immediately to the left of D. B sits at the extreme right end. How many persons sit between G and B?
Two persons sit between G and B. With C at seat 3, D is at seat 6, G at seat 5 and B at seat 8. The seats between 5 and 8 are 6 and 7, so two people sit between them.
- A1
- B2Correct
- C3
- D0
Explanation
C is at position 3 from the left. D is third to the right of C, so position 6. G is immediately left of D, so position 5. B is at position 8. Persons between positions 5 and 8 are those at 6 and 7, which is 2. Choosing 1 would wrongly count only D.
