Download Solution PDFGiven persons are A, E, J, O, R, S and Y and the fruits are Apple, Banana, Grapes, Guava, Kiwi, Mango and Oranges.
1) The person who likes Mango sits at extreme end.
2) Y sits three places away from Mango.
3) J and Y sit immediate next to each other.
4) J sits second to the right of E who sits immediate right of the person who likes Oranges. So, case 1 and 4 are eliminated.
5) O sits third left of the person who likes Banana.
6) Neither A nor O likes Oranges and Apple.
7) The person who likes Kiwi sits second to the right of the person who likes Grapes.
8) S likes Guava and sits immediate right of the person who likes Apple. So, case 1 is eliminated since in case 1 if we place S at extreme right end then A likes Apple or Oranges which contradicts the given condition and if we place S second right end then there is no place for condition. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows
Hence,the only correct pair is E - Kiwi.
