Q. (38-40) Read the information and answer the questions.
The letters A, B, C, D, E, F and G not necessarily in that order stands for seven consecutive integers from 1 to 10.
i. D is 3 less than A;
ii. B is the middle term;
iii. F is as much less than B as C is greater than D;
iv. G is greater than F.
38. The fifth integer is:

Question: The fifth integer is:

Solution:
Let the seven consecutive integers be represented by their positions: 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, and 7th.

1. From condition (ii), B is the 4th (middle) term.
2. From condition (i), D is 3 less than A (Gap of 3).
3. By testing the consecutive positions and satisfying condition (iii) [B - F = C - D], we find the following arrangement:

1st: E
2nd: F
3rd: D
4th: B
5th: C
6th: A
7th: G

Checking Condition (iii): B(4) - F(2) = 2. C(5) - D(3) = 2. (Matches)
Checking Condition (iv): G(7) is greater than F(2). (Matches)

Answer: খ) C
