Question

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. C sits second to the left of F. G is an immediate neighbour of both A and E. A is an immediate neighbour of F. B sits to the immediate right of E. How many people sit between B and F when counted from the right of F?

• A. 1
• B. 0
• C. 3
• D. 2

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 3

Three people sit between B and F when counted from the right of F.

1. Positioning F and C: Let's place F at the top. Since C sits second to the left of F, C will be two places to the clockwise direction from F.

2. Positioning A, G, and E: We are told A is an immediate neighbour of F, and G is between A and E. If we place A to the left of F, G cannot fit because C is already there. Therefore, A must sit to the immediate right of F (counter-clockwise). This places G next to A, and E next to G.

3. Positioning B and D: B sits to the immediate right of E. The only remaining spot is filled by D.

Final Seating Arrangement (Clockwise):

• F $\rightarrow$ D $\rightarrow$ C $\rightarrow$ B $\rightarrow$ E $\rightarrow$ G $\rightarrow$ A $\rightarrow$ (back to F)

Counting from the right of F (counter-clockwise towards B), the order of people is A, G, and E.
