Seven people T, U, V, W, X, Y & Z are standing in a single line facing a milk - booth. X is somewhere ahead of Y. There is exactly one person standing between V and Z. W is immediately behind T. Y is behind both U & W. If W & V are fourth and fifth in line respectively, then which of the following must be true?

T is first

Z is first

Y is sixth

Y is seventh

✅ Correct Option: 3

Given information:

W is fourth in line
V is fifth in line
W is immediately behind T
There is exactly one person between V and Z
X is somewhere ahead of Y
Y is behind both U & W

Since W is at position 4 and W is immediately behind T, T must be at position 3.

Positions so far:

Position 3: T
Position 4: W
Position 5: V

V is at position 5, and there is exactly one person between V and Z.

This means Z is either at position 3 or position 7.

Since position 3 is already occupied by T, Z must be at position 7.

Positions so far:

Position 3: T
Position 4: W
Position 5: V
Position 7: Z

Y is behind both U and W. Since W is at position 4, Y must be at position 5, 6, or 7.

Positions 5 and 7 are occupied by V and Z respectively, so Y must be at position 6.

Positions so far:

Position 3: T
Position 4: W
Position 5: V
Position 6: Y
Position 7: Z

The remaining people are U and X, who must occupy positions 1 and 2.

Since X is ahead of Y (position 6) and Y is behind U, both conditions are satisfied with U and X at positions 1 and 2 (in either order).

Final arrangement:

Positions 1-2: U and X (in some order)
Position 3: T
Position 4: W
Position 5: V
Position 6: Y
Position 7: Z

Checking the options:

Option 1: T is first - FALSE (T is third)
Option 2: Z is first - FALSE (Z is seventh)
Option 3: Y is sixth - TRUE
Option 4: Y is seventh - FALSE (Y is sixth)

Therefore, Option 3 must be true.
