Directions: Read the information given and answer the following questions.The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order,…

Alphabets: A, B, C, D, E, F and G

Numbers: 1 to 10

Condition:

1. They stand for 7 consecutive integers.

2. D is 3 less than A ⇒ A – D = 3 ⇒ A > D

3. B is the middle term.

4. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D ⇒ B – F = C – D ⇒ B > F and C > D

5. G is greater than F ⇒ G > F

Since we don’t know the first number for given consecutive number. So, we’ll arrange the alphabets using given order but wouldn’t assign numbers.

1) B is the middle term.

2) A – D = 3

A – F = G – x

⇒ 6 – 2 = 7 – x

⇒ x = 3rd = D.
