Seven friends - Arjun, Bhavna, Chirag, Divya, Eshan, Farah and Gaurav - sit in a single row, all facing north. Divya sits at the left end and Bhavna at the right end. Arjun sits exactly in the middle of the row. Chirag sits immediately to the left of Bhavna. Farah is an immediate neighbour of both Arjun and Chirag. Gaurav does not sit next to Arjun. How many people sit between Gaurav and Chirag?

Question

Accepted Answer

Three. Left to right: Divya, Gaurav, Eshan, Arjun, Farah, Chirag, Bhavna (Divya at the left end, Bhavna at the right end, Arjun in the middle seat, Chirag just left of Bhavna, Farah in the only seat touching both Arjun and Chirag; of the two seats left, Gaurav takes the one not next to Arjun). Gaurav is in seat 2 and Chirag in seat 6, so Eshan, Arjun and Farah sit between them - three people.
