Accepted Answer

C. Let's arrange 7 positions from left to right (1 to 7): - B is at position 7 (extreme right). - G sits 2nd to the left of B $\implies$ G is at position 5. - E sits between G and B $\implies$ E is at position 6. - Two persons between F and G $\implies$ F is at position 2. - D sits 3rd to the left of C $\implies$ D at 1, C at 4. - Remaining spot 3 goes to A. Arrangement: D(1) - F(2) - A(3) - C(4) - G(5) - E(6) - B(7). Checking statements: - (A) F sits at extreme left (False, D is at extreme left) - (B) Two persons sit between E and F (False, 3 persons A, C, G) - (C) C sits in middle (True, position 4) - (D) E sits 3rd to right of A (True, A is at 3, E is at 6) Correct statements: (C) and (D).
