Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D

According to the given information:
From (i), we get
Cardilac Car `to` Immediate right of Fargo.
From (ii), we get
Fargo `to` Fourth to the right of Fiat.
From (iii), we get
Maruti Car `to` Between Ambassador and Bedford.
From (iv), we get
Fiat `to` Third to the left of Ambassador car.
[`because` Fiat lies at one of the ends]
Arrangement of seven cars of seven different companies in a row facing east from left to right:
`("left end")rarr ("facing east")`
`("Fiat")/(1) harr("Bedford")/(2) harr("Maruti")/(3)harr("Ambassador")/(4) harr("Fargo")/(5)harr("Cardilac")/(6)harr("Mercedes")/(7) larr ("rigth end")`
By analysing the above arrangement, we get Maruti `to` Third place or position. Mercedes `to` Seventh place or position. Therefore, Mercedes `to` fourth to the right of Maruti.
