Answer
Correct Answer: B F
Explanation
Introduction / Context:Linking three local inequalities yields a strict left-to-right order for six members; the two central seats follow immediately.
Given Data / Assumptions:
- A < E < B.
- B < F < G.
- G < C.
Concept / Approach:Combine the chains to get a total order.
Step-by-Step Solution:
Order: A < E < B < F < G < C.Middle seats (positions 3 and 4) are B and F.Why Other Options Are Wrong:A and E are left of center; G and C are right of center; F and G are consecutive but not both middle.
Final Answer:B F
