Fix the anchor point (the extreme end) first and place adjacent neighbors to quickly build the sequence from left to right.
Establish the anchor position
The problem states D is at the extreme left. So, position 1 is D: D _ _ _ _
Place the remaining entities
We know B is between A and E (sequence A-B-E or E-B-A). C is to the immediate right of E. If the sequence is D, A, B, E, C, then all conditions are satisfied. D is extreme left, B is between A and E, and C is to the immediate right of E.
Final Sequence Check
The order is: 1: D, 2: A, 3: B, 4: E, 5: C. Counting from the left, B is in the 3rd position, which is the middle of 5 friends.
A is at position 2, C is at position 5, and E is at position 4; none of these occupy the middle position (3).
B is correct because in the sequence D, A, B, E, C, the person B is situated exactly in the third position, which is the middle of the five friends.
In seating arrangement problems, always identify the 'Extreme' ends first as they provide the fixed anchor for your chain of deductions.
