Incorrect AnswerIntelligent
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
Let’s break down the statements:
- Five persons are in a row, facing north.
- Leftmost and rightmost ends: One is an introvert, the other is an extrovert.
- Thin person is immediately right of the intelligent person.
- Weak person is immediately left of the extrovert.
- Intelligent person is exactly between introvert and thin persons.
Stepwise:
1. Arrange introvert (I) and extrovert (E) at ends.
2. I _ _ _ E OR E _ _ _ I
3. Intelligent (Int) is between I and Thin.
- So: I Int Thin _ E or E _ Thin Int I
- But Thin is immediately right of Intelligent person. So, I Int Thin _ E
4. Weak person is immediately left of extrovert.
- So before E, the weak person (W) sits.
- I Int Thin W E
Now, check who is sitting in the middle (3rd position):
- I (1), Int (2), Thin (3), W (4), E (5)
The Thin person is at the centre.
Correct Answer: Option 4 – Thin.
