Correct Answer Second
Let us fix the end positions first. It is given that one of the two women at the extreme ends is sharp and the other one is creative. Here two case arises :
Case 1 : Women at the left end is sharp and women at the right end is creative.

A fragile woman is to the left of the creative woman and the strong woman is sitting between the sharp and the thin woman.
In case 2, creative woman is on the left end so seating fragile women on the left of creative women is not possible. Therefore, we reject case 2.
Considering case 1, we get :

So, counting from right fragile woman occupies second position.
Hence, second is the correct answer.
