At the theatre, there are six seats in a row. Eliot and Doug have three people between them.
Chuck sits next to Eliot, but not next to Bob: Andy is on the end: but Eliot isn't. Frank is between __
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the context, in this problem, to be " between " means to be " immediately between ".
So, we have 6 letters A, B, C, D, E, F.
There are 3 positions between E and D.
A is on the end, but E isn't.
So, from this description, the only possible configurations are these TWO, A E C F B D or D B F C E A.
In both these configurations, Frank is between Bob and Chuck.
ANSWER. There are TWO and only two possible configurations, A E C F B D or D B F C E A,
and in both configurations, Frank is between Bob and Chuck (option (a)).
Solved.
