Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

A, B, C, D, and E are standing in a line. A is to the left of B, and C is to the right of D. If E is at the end of the line, who is in the middle?
  • Step 1: Identify the people in the line: A, B, C, D, and E.
  • Step 2: Understand that A is to the left of B. This means A comes before B in the line.
  • Step 3: Understand that C is to the right of D. This means D comes before C in the line.
  • Step 4: Note that E is at the end of the line. This means E is the last person.
  • Step 5: Since A is to the left of B, we can place A and B together as A, B.
  • Step 6: Since D is to the left of C, we can place D and C together as D, C.
  • Step 7: Now we have two groups: A, B and D, C. We need to combine them with E at the end.
  • Step 8: The only way to arrange them while keeping A to the left of B and D to the left of C is: D, A, B, C, E.
  • Step 9: In this arrangement, the middle person is B.
