Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept: In a single-row (linear) seating puzzle, turn each relational clue into a small left-to-right order and then merge those partial orders into one complete row. Unless a clue says the people face each other, 'left' and 'right' follow the normal left-to-right direction, so a person's immediate right is whoever sits in the very next seat to their right.
Applying it:
'Seema is to the right of Bindu and to the left of Rani' gives the partial order Bindu, Seema, Rani.
'Mary is to the right of Rani' places Mary somewhere after Rani: Bindu, Seema, Rani, ..., Mary.
'Reeta is between Rani and Mary' fills the only remaining gap, fixing the full row as Bindu, Seema, Rani, Reeta, Mary.
Position (from left) | Girl |
|---|---|
1 | Bindu |
2 | Seema |
3 | Rani |
4 | Reeta |
5 | Mary |
Reading the completed row, the girl seated immediately to the right of Reeta is Mary.
Cross-check: Test every clue against the row Bindu, Seema, Rani, Reeta, Mary: Seema is right of Bindu and left of Rani (yes), Mary is right of Rani (yes), and Reeta sits between Rani and Mary (yes). Every clue holds, so the row is correct.
