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 and B are together, then which of the following must be necessarily true?

Answer & solution

Correct answer: A is at the third place

  • A

    C is not at the first place

  • A is at the third place

  • C

    D is at the first place

  • D

    C is at the first place

If A and B are together, but C and D are not, then the only places that A and B can occupy are 2nd and 3rd.

And since B cannot be at 3rd place, A has to be at 3rd place.
