AF
BL
CD
DH ✓ Correct
Correct answer: (D) H — H is third to reach, so that is the answer.
Explanation
★H is third to reach, so that is the answer.
★The condition that L reaches only after J places J before L.
★The condition that D reaches only just before F places D immediately before F.
★Fitting these blocks with the fifth person H into five ordered times leaves H in the middle slot.
★So H takes the third position in the order of arrival.
★So H is third to reach.
