B is an immediate neighbour of F. Only one person sits between C and D. G is not an immediate neighbour of A. Who sits to the extreme left?

The correct answer is
F

Seating Arrangement Deduction

Seven people (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are seated in a row facing north. The goal is to find who sits at the extreme left position.

Analyzing Seating Clues

We deduce the seating arrangement step-by-step:

  • D sits to the extreme right: In a row of 7 seats, D occupies the 7th position from the left. Seats:
    _ _ _ _ _ _ D
  • Only one person sits between C and D: C must be in the 5th position. Seats:
    _ _ _ _ C _ D
  • A sits third to the left of D: Counting three positions left from D (position 7), A is in the 4th position. Seats:
    _ _ _ A C _ D
  • Only two people sit between A and F: A is at position 4. To have two people between A and F, F must be at position 1 (since position 7 is occupied by D). Seats:
    F _ _ A C _ D
  • B is an immediate neighbour of F: B sits next to F, so B is in the 2nd position. Seats:
    F B _ A C _ D
  • G is not an immediate neighbour of A: A is at position 4. Its neighbours are positions 3 and 5. C is already at position 5. Therefore, G cannot be at position 3. The only available spot for G is position 6. Seats:
    F B _ A C G D
  • Remaining person and position: E fills the last empty spot, which is position 3. Seats:
    F B E A C G D

Final Seating Arrangement

The complete seating arrangement from left to right is: F, B, E, A, C, G, D.

Identifying the Extreme Left Position

The person occupying the first position from the left is F.
