A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a line facing East. C is immediate to the right of \( D \) . \( B \) is at one of the extreme ends and has E as his neighbour. G is between E and F . D is sitting third from the south end. Who are the persons sitting at the extreme end ?
This question requires us to first solve the main puzzle to determine the complete seating arrangement of the seven friends. Since they are facing East, the line has a North end and a South end, which are the "extreme ends".
A step-by-step analysis of all the clues ("D is third from the south end", "B is at an extreme end", etc.) leads to a single, unique arrangement for the seven friends in the line.
The complete arrangement from the North end to the South end is:
The question asks who is sitting at the two extreme ends of the line.
Looking at our final arrangement:
Final Answer: The persons sitting at the extreme ends are A & B.
