Question
Four of the following five are alike in a certain way as
per the given arrangement and hence form a group, which one of the following does not belong to that group? Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below: Seven persons A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a row facing towards the north but not necessarily in the same order. Each one of them likes different colors i.e., white, orange, violet, cream, mustard, brown and pink but not necessarily in the same order. The one who sits immediate right of D likes pink. D sits 2nd from one of the extreme ends. Only one person sits between D and C. A sits 4th to the left of G, who sits adjacent to C. Only one person sits between F and G, who likes violet. More than three persons sit between A and F. More than two persons sit between the one who likes violet and the one who likes cream. B sits to the left of E. B is not an immediate neighbor of A. Neither D nor C likes brown. The one who likes white sits 3rd to the left of the one who likes brown. E does not like orange.Solution
As per the given information, the one who sits immediate right of D likes pink. D sits 2nd from one of the extreme ends. Only one person sits between D and C. Here we have two possible cases. A sits 4th to the left of G, who sits adjacent to C. Only one person sits between F and G, who likes violet. Case-1
CASE-2
More than three persons sit between A and F. B sits to the left of E. More than two persons sit between the one who likes violet and the one who likes cream.
B is not an immediate neighbor of A. Here Case 1 gets eliminated. Neither D nor C likes brown. The one who likes white sits 3rd to the left of the one who likes brown. E does not like orange. So the final arrangement will be-
