How many people are there in the row ........

Logical Reasoning(SBI-PO) Sitting Arrangement

Direction: Study the following information carefully and answer the given questions.

An uncertain number of people are sitting in a row facing north and are at equal distance between them. S is sitting third from the extreme end. Two people are sitting between S and F. T is sitting second to the right of F. A is sitting exactly in between E and F. Six people are sitting between T and V, who does not sit at any end. Number of people sitting to the right of G is same as the people sitting to the left of E. G is sitting to sixth to the right of T. A is adjacent to E. Two people are sitting between P and R who is sitting to the right of V.

Explanation:

Let’s break it down, step by step.

Here’s how the clues line up:

- S is third from one end. So, S is at position 3 (counting from the left end).

- Two people between S and F: Options—F is either two seats left of S (which would put F at position 1, possibly close to the edge), or two seats right (putting F at 5).

- T is second to the right of F.

- A is exactly in between E and F, and A is adjacent to E.

- Six between T and V (V can't be at the end).

- Count to the right of G equals count to the left of E.

- G is sixth to the right of T.

- Two between P and R, R is right of V.

Piecing these together, we can see the arrangement needs to be spacious enough to fit all these positions and gaps, especially with six between T and V and G, six to the right of T. If you try smaller numbers--like 10 or 14--you run into impossible overlaps with these requirements. So, Option 3, 17 people, is the only one that fits all rules without contradiction.

Summary of possible options:

- 9: Way too small to fit all clues.

- 10: Still can’t fit G and T 6 seats apart, or S third from end *and* have big gaps elsewhere.

- 14: Tighter, but “six between” requirements plus “third from end” make this tough.

- 17: Fits everything.

- 20: Overkill; you don’t actually need this many.

Option 3, 17 is correct.
