Five friends facing North – who is at the extreme right end? Constraints: Ankit sits immediately to the right of Anjum. Amit is to the left of Priya and immediately to the right of Ram (so Ram–Amit are adjacent). Ram is somewhere to the right of Ankit.

Introduction / Context:All friends face North, so “left” and “right” are read in the normal left-to-right order. We must determine who occupies the extreme right seat.

Given Data / Assumptions:

• Ankit is immediately to the right of Anjum ⇒ (Anjum, Ankit) adjacent with Ankit on the right.
• Ram and Amit are adjacent with Amit immediately to the right of Ram ⇒ (Ram, Amit).
• Amit is to the left of Priya ⇒ Priya lies to the right of Amit.
• Ram is to the right of Ankit.

Concept / Approach:Place the adjacencies first, then satisfy the “to the right of” conditions. Use a 5-seat template and try feasible placements without breaking adjacency.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Verification / Alternative check:All constraints hold, and the extreme right end is seat 5, occupied by Priya.

Why Other Options Are Wrong:They are not at seat 5 in any arrangement satisfying all constraints simultaneously.

Common Pitfalls:Breaking adjacency when moving Ram relative to Ankit or placing Priya to the left of Amit.

Final Answer:Priya
