The last sentence gives a definite information about the positions of the and Ambassador. If Fiat is at one of the ends and it is to the left of the Ambassador, it must be at the left end. Hence:
Fi ___ ___ Am ___ ___ ___
Now, we go to the second sentence since it gives comparative information about Fiat and Fargo. Hence :
Fi ___ ___ Am Fa ___ ___
Now, by virtue of the 1st sentence,
Fi ____ ____ Am Fa Ca ____
Now, the third sentence. Maruti must be to the left of Ambassador since the right place is filled. Hence, Bedford and Maruti would come to the immediate left of Ambassador. The rightmost place would then go to the only car remaining Viz. Mercedes. Hence, the final configuration would look like:
Fi Be Ma Am Fa Ca Me.
