@All

Please try to understand one thing that 'C is sitting next to D' means C can be sitting LEFT or RIGHT to D.

Please Don't assume 'next' means it should be RIGHT side.

Therefore, the given answer is correct.

Hope this will help you.

Hope tis cud help u..

1. A is sitting next to B. so,

A B

2. C is sitting next to D. so,

C D

3. D is not sitting with E, who is on the left end of the bench. so,

E _ _ _ _

4. C is on the second position from the right. so,

E _ _ C _

5. A is to the right of B and E. A and C are sitting together.

E B A C D

because A should be placed to left of C so that it will be right of E. Also it should be to the right of B, so place B next to E. Now A and C will be sitting together. Only place left will be towards the right end, there you place D.

6. So, A is sitting between B and C

7. And the answer is option B
