Question

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing away from the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Only 3 people sit between D and F when counted from the right of D. E and G are both immediate neighbours of A. B sits immediately to the left of C. Only 1 person sits between B and G when counted from the right of G. What is the position of E with respect to B ?

• A. Second to the left
• B. Second to the right
• C. Third to the left
• D. Third to the right

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Third to the right

Since everyone is facing away from the centre:

• Right = anticlockwise

• Left = clockwise

From the correct arrangement (one valid solution):
D – E – A – G – C – B – F (clockwise)

Now check from B:

Moving to the right of B (anticlockwise):
B → C → G → A → E

So, E is third to the right of B.

Final Answer:

E is third to the right of B
