Verified By Collegedunia
The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
To solve this seating arrangement problem, we must adhere to the constraints provided:
- C does not sit next to A or E. This means C cannot be directly adjacent to either A or E.
- A and E have three people sitting between them. Therefore, A and E must sit at the extreme ends of the bench to accommodate three people between them.
Given these conditions and the five positions available:
- A sits at one extreme end.
- Then three people sit between A and E (in order B, C, and D, since C can't be adjacent to A or E).
- E sits at the other extreme end.
Thus, the seating order becomes A, B, C, D, E.
Based on this arrangement, the extreme ends of the bench are occupied by A & E.
