Q
Q: If in a row of five chairs, chair 1 is occupied by A, chair 2 by B, and chair 3 by C, which of the following statements is true?
Solution: Since A is in chair 1, B in chair 2, and C in chair 3, B is indeed sitting in the middle.
Steps: 6
Step 1: Identify the chairs and their occupants. We have 5 chairs: chair 1, chair 2, chair 3, chair 4, and chair 5.
Step 2: Note who is sitting in each chair. A is in chair 1, B is in chair 2, and C is in chair 3.
Step 3: Determine the position of each chair. Chair 1 is the first chair, chair 2 is the second chair, chair 3 is the third chair, chair 4 is the fourth chair, and chair 5 is the fifth chair.
Step 4: Find the middle chair. In a row of 5 chairs, the middle chair is chair 3.
Step 5: Check who is sitting in the middle chair (chair 3). C is sitting in chair 3, not B.
Step 6: Conclude that B is not sitting in the middle; C is in the middle.
