Steps to solve linear seating arrangement reasoning questions
(1) First read the question carefully and draw 7 empty places for 7 persons with directions as shown in figure.
(2) Now identify the definite steps or sitting arrangement. For example the (iii) point and (iv) point both are definite and you can give a proper place to both.
First start with the (iii) Here B is sitting at left end and A is sitting at second from the right. Then fill the blanks from the definite given data.
Now from the point three The B is sitting just left to the B means, D comes at just right to B.
(3) Now your three person got their place. Now start from the first point and draw it separately.
G is 3rd left means G is sitting as shown in the figure.
Now goto the second given point. F is 4th right to E. Means E is sitting just left to the G.
(4) Now Goto the next point (ii) and it states that E is sitting between D and G. But in step 3 the E is just left to the G. Means only right position of E is empty. Now place it as shown in figure.
But from the second step the position of D is already decided means now we got the exact position of B,D,E,G,A and F. Now the only person left is C and the empty space left is also one. So you can place it there
Summary: You can realize what happen in this problem. We selected the definite persons and placed them at proper place. After that we again started and started placing as per the statements and then we got the final seating arrangement as showing.
