Four friends A, B, C and D sit in a row facing north. Each owns a car of a different colour: red, blue, white or black. A sits at the left end. B sits immediately to the right of A. The owner of the red car sits at the right end. C sits immediately to the left of D. Who owns the red car?
D owns the red car. A and B occupy the first two places from the left, so C and D take places three and four, with C immediately left of D. The red car owner sits at the right end, which is D's seat.

Explanation
A is at position 1 and B at position 2. C and D must take positions 3 and 4. Since C sits immediately to the left of D, C is at 3 and D is at 4. The red car owner is at the right end, which is position 4, so D owns the red car. C cannot be the owner because C sits at position 3, not at the end.
