Seven boys are sitting in a row. Stayendra is on the left of Khalid and Madhukar is on the left of Balanand right of Khalid. Rehman is between Stayendra and Ahmed and Kutty is at the extreme right. Who is in the middle ?

Options

A. Rehman
B. Stayendra
C. khalid
D. Madhukar

Answer

B

Explanation

Let us arrange the facts.
(i) Satyendra is to the of Khalid `implies` Sa - kh
(ii) Madhukar is to the left of Balan and to the right of Khalid
`implies` Kh - Ma - Ba
(iii) Rehman is between Satyendra and Ahmed `implies` (a) Sa-Re-Ah or
(b) Ah - Re - Sa
(iv) Kutty is on the extreme right.
Now, the configuration "Sa - Re - Ah" in (iii) is rejected because it shows Rehman on the right of Satyendra, whereas Khalid is on the right of Satyendra [from (i)]. Thus, we will combine (i), (ii), (ii), (iii), (b), (iv) and the arrangement is:
Ku - Ah - Re - Sa - Kh - Ma - Ba.
