Directions (For the next two items): Based on the information given below, answer the two items which follow it: Five ladies A, B, C, D, E go to a cinema hall along with their husbands P, Q, R, S, T (not necessarily in that order). Seats numbered from 1 to 10 are reserved for these 5 married couples. Each of the five ladies sits on the seat immediately to the left of her husband. (i) The couple E and S occupy the seats at the extreme right. (ii) C, who is not sitting at the extreme left and Q, who is not sitting on the seat number 2, are not husband and wife. (iii) B and R are celebrating their wedding anniversary and hence are sitting at the centre. (iv) A and T are not husband and wife. (v) D is sitting on the seat number 3.
116. If in the last condition (v), it is stated that D sits on the seat number 7, then who will sit on the seat number 4?
- AP
- BT
- CP or T
- DCannot be determined
Explanation
With D moved to seat 7 (condition v changed), the ladies' seats become: A on 1, C on 3 (C is not at the extreme left), B on 5, D on 7, E on 9. The husband on seat 4 is C's husband: he cannot be Q (C and Q are not married) and cannot be R or S (taken), so he is P or T. If he were P, A's husband would have to be Q — but Q is explicitly not on seat 2 — a contradiction. Hence C's husband is T, who sits on seat 4.
