Linear Seating Arrangement Questions and Answers

Answer: E

Correct answer: TU

All seven face north, so right means east. W sits five places to T’s right and not at an end, which puts T first and W sixth. Y is exactly in the middle, fourth, and U three places to Y’s right, seventh. Z must be three places from X and not beside Y, which leaves only one filling. From left to right the row reads T, Z, V, Y, X, W, U.

The row begins with T and ends with U, so those two hold the extreme ends.

B is at an end with E beside him, which can only be the north end, and G sits between E and F. Reading from north to south the wall holds B, E, G, F, D, C, A.

The two ends of the wall are held by B at the north and A at the south.
