Five people A, B, C, D and E sit in a row facing north (positions 1 to 5 from the left). A sits at the left end. D sits exactly in the middle. B is an immediate neighbour of D. There are exactly two people between B and E. C is not adjacent to A. Who sits at the right end?

Question

Accepted Answer

E. A=1, D=3 (middle). B neighbours D, and needs two people between B and E, so B=2 and E=5; the leftover seat 4 goes to C (not adjacent to A). Arrangement L→R: A, B, D, C, E. Right end = E.
