Discussion
6 members of a family comprising of Father, Mother, Son, Wife, Grand son and Grand daughter are sitting in a row from Left to Right. Grand daughter is not sitting in between any of the members. There are four family members sitting to the left side of Son. There are 3 members sitting to the Right side of the Mother. Son is sitting in between Father and Wife. What is the position of the Grand son in the series?
Answer: D
The Board keyed Data insufficient, which follows if 'between' is read as anywhere between Father and Wife.
Four members are to the left of the Son, so the Son is 5th. Three are to the right of the Mother, so the Mother is 3rd. The Son sits between Father and Wife, so one of them is 6th (the only seat right of the Son) and the other is in 1, 2 or 4. The Grand daughter is not in between any of the members, so she is at an end; 6th is taken, so she is 1st.
Seats 1 to 6: Grand daughter, ?, Mother, ?, Son, ?
Father or Wife is 6th, and the other of the two shares seats 2 and 4 with the Grand son. Both orders fit the statements, so the Grand son can be 2nd or 4th. Only if 'between' meant immediately beside the Son would seat 4 go to Father or Wife and the Grand son be 2nd, an extra condition the question does not state.
