doesn’t belong to France. And as WHO-
UK, UN-China, these two combinations
are fixed, these two combinations have
to go with either T or V. But as V doesn’t
belong to UK, V works with UN and
belongs to China. And thus T works with
WHO and belongs to UK. Thus S belongs

So we have given this-
Three boys are sitting between two girls.

The only boy who is not among those
boys is sitting at one of the extreme
ends. Not more than two girls are sitting
together. So we have these possibilities.
Case 1:

Case 2:

Take Case 1:
H is sitting fourth to the left of L. L can
be sits at 6

or 7
th

If L sits at 6
th
then H sits at 2
nd
but H is
a boy and at 2

position a girl is sitting
so this cannot be possible.

So L sits at 7
th
and H sits at 4
th

sitting between H and F. So G must be
sits at 4
th
and F at 5
th

immediate neighbor of L. J doesn't sit at
any of the extreme ends. So J must sit
at 2
nd
. Both J and K are sitting beside a
boy. So K must sits at 6
th
. At 1
st
position
I sit. So this is a valid case we do not
need to check another.
Final arrangement is like this-
