NIMCET 2012 — Reasoning PYQ

Step 1: Locate D and C.

The problem states $D$ is sitting third from the South end.

• Position 7 is 1st from South.

• Position 6 is 2nd from South.

• Position 5 is $D$ (3rd from South).

  Since $C$ is to the immediate right of $D$, and right is Southward:

• Position 6 is $C$.

Step 2: Locate B and E.

$B$ is at an extreme end and has $E$ as a neighbor.

If $B$ were at position 7 (South end), his neighbor $E$ would be at position 6. But position 6 is already taken by $C$.

Therefore, $B$ must be at the North end.

• Position 1 is $B$.

• Position 2 is $E$ (neighbor of $B$).

Step 3: Locate G and F.

$G$ is between $E$ and $F$.

• Since $E$ is at position 2, and $G$ is between them, Position 3 must be $G$ and Position 4 must be $F$.

Step 4: Finalize the arrangement.

We have positions 1 through 6 filled: $B,E,G,F,D,C$. The only person left is $A$, and the only spot left is position 7.

• Position 7 is $A$.

Final Order (North to South):

1. $B$

2. $E$

3. $G$

4. $F$

5. $D$

6. $C$

7. $A$

Conclusion:

The person sitting third from North is $G$.

Correct Option: (d) $G$
