Four friends, namely S, R, T and V are all sitting in a straight row, facing the same side. Further, it is known that T and V have no one sitting between them. There is at least one person sitting to the right of T and S is sitting on one of the two ends of the row. Identify the option which is most likely to be false :

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 3

Number the seats 1 to 4 from the left. T and V are adjacent, T cannot be in seat 4, and S sits in seat 1 or 4.

The valid arrangements are STVR, SVTR, SRTV, TVRS, VTRS, RTVS and RVTS.

T occupies an end seat only in TVRS, so it is false in 6 of the 7 cases, more often than any other statement.
