@All,

C can seat either left or right.

But if you read the question carefully it is clear that by saying 'A and C are seating together ' hence the position of c is fixed which is at the left of D.

The correct answer is "between B and C" because from the question, A is next to B, C next to D but E is at the left side of the bench and is not next to D yet C is second from the right, A is to the right of B with A sitting next to C so conclusion EBACD.

Here we are having 5 ppl A is next to B so A can sit either in left or in right side but together and the same thing for C and the last thing is D and E are not sitting together then E have to be in the 1st position.

So, the answer is EBACD.

E is in leftmost.

If B and A in 1st and position then D is in mid.
but we have together C and A.

So, A and B in 4th and 3rd and D and C in 1st and 2nd position.

E B A C D is the correct order.

If the direction is not mention in the question we take always they are facing NORTH side.

C is next to D means either left are right.

So, the order is E B D C A.

So A is between B and C.

Sorry for giving wrong arrangement previously the actual arrangement is E B A C D.

According to the question.

E is at the leftmost corner out of the 5 seats.
Now, 4 seats are left.
C is 2nd from the right.
Now it is given that a is sitting next to c and b
Therefore it means it cannot sit on rightmost seat.
Therefore it is sitting to left of c
Now since it is sitting to right of b and next to c -
Hence a is on the 3 Rd position and b is on the 2 new position.
Only one seat is left now and therefore d is on the rightmost seat.
