Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

Five people are standing in a line. A is to the left of B, but to the right of C. D is to the right of E. If E is at one end, who is in the middle?
  • Step 1: Identify the positions of E, C, A, B, and D based on the clues given.
  • Step 2: The first clue says 'A is to the left of B, but to the right of C.' This means C is on the leftmost side, followed by A, and then B.
  • Step 3: The second clue states 'D is to the right of E.' Since E is at one end, D must be at the other end.
  • Step 4: Since E is at one end, the only arrangement that fits all clues is E, C, A, B, D.
  • Step 5: In this arrangement, the middle person is A.
