Discussion
Five friends Arun, Bhumi, Ria, Vibha and Shweta are sitting in a row facing east. Bhumi is sitting between Vibha and Sweta. Ria is second to the left of Sweta. Who is sitting at the south end?
Answer: C
Vibha is sitting at the south end. People facing east have north on their left and south on their right, so the south end is the right-hand end of the row. Ria is second to the left of Sweta, so Sweta cannot be in the first two seats. If Sweta is in seat 4 (counting from the north end) then Ria is in seat 2, and Bhumi must sit next to Sweta with Vibha on Bhumi's far side, which fails because the seats are taken or run out. If Sweta is in seat 5, Bhumi would be in seat 4 and Vibha in seat 3, which is Ria's seat. Only Sweta in seat 3 works: Ria is in seat 1, Bhumi in seat 4, Vibha in seat 5, and Arun in seat 2. The row from north to south is Ria, Arun, Sweta, Bhumi, Vibha, so the south end is Vibha, not Sweta, Bhumi or Arun.
