In an Exhibition seven cars of different companies - Cadillac, Ambassador,…

In a linear seating/standing arrangement, phrases like ‘third to the left of’, ‘fourth to the right of’, and ‘next to the right of’ are constraints that fix one object's numbered position relative to another's. Solve such puzzles by numbering the spots in one direction (say 1 to n from one end), converting every relative clue into a position equation, and filling in positions in the order the equations become solvable — anchoring first on any clue that names an end of the row.

1. Number the seven spots 1 (left end) to 7 (right end), since all cars face east.

2. Clue D gives an anchor: Fiat is third to the left of Ambassador, so Ambassador = Fiat + 3, and Fiat sits at one end. Fiat at position 7 would need Ambassador at position 10, which does not exist, so Fiat = 1 and Ambassador = 4.

3. Clue B: Fargo is fourth to the right of Fiat, so Fargo = 1 + 4 = 5.

4. Clue A: Cadillac is next to the right of Fargo, so Cadillac = 5 + 1 = 6.

5. Only positions 2, 3 and 7 remain, for Bedford, Maruti and Mercedes. Clue C places Maruti between Ambassador (position 4) and Bedford; the only unplaced position touching position 4 is 3, so Maruti = 3, and Bedford, on Maruti's other side, takes position 2.

6. The one car left over, Mercedes, takes the only position left, 7.

This gives the full line-up: Fiat(1) – Bedford(2) – Maruti(3) – Ambassador(4) – Fargo(5) – Cadillac(6) – Mercedes(7).

Re-check all four clues against this line-up: Cadillac(6) is indeed next to the right of Fargo(5); Fargo(5) is indeed fourth to the right of Fiat(1); Maruti(3) is indeed between Ambassador(4) and Bedford(2); and Fiat(1) is indeed third to the left of Ambassador(4) and sits at an end — every clue checks out, so Cadillac's own two neighbours, at positions 5 and 7, are Fargo and Mercedes.
