CAT 1998 — DILR Question 47

Linear ArrangementEasy
Passage / Data

Direction: Answer the questions based on the following information.

A, B, C and D are to be seated in a row. But C and D cannot be together. Also B cannot be at the third place.

If A is not at the third place, then which of the following options does C have?

Answer & solution

Correct answer: The first and third place only

  • A

    The first place only

  • B

    The third place only

  • The first and third place only

  • D

    Any of the places

Solution

Since neither A nor B can be at 3rd place, this place has to be occupied by either D or C. And if either of them occupies this place, the other one has to occupy the 1st place (since D and C cannot be together).

Hence, C can only occupy either 1st or 3rd place.
