A, B and C are standing in a line. A is not first. B is not last. C is to the right of A. What is the only possible order?

Hint
There are only six possible permutations.

Answer

B-A-C.

Explanation

A cannot be first. Since C must be to the right of A, A cannot be third either. Therefore A must be second and C third. B is first.

Step-by-Step Solution

A is not first.
C is to the right of A.
Therefore A = position 2.
C = position 3.
B = position 1.
Order = B-A-C.
