Question

A, B, P, Q, Y and Z are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Q sits to the immediate left of B. Y sits to the immediate right of B. A sits second to the right of B. P sits second to the right of A. Who sits third to the right of Z?

• A. Q
• B. P
• C. A
• D. B

Answer 1

Answer:

D. B

Let’s fix B at a position (since it’s a circular table).

Given:

• Q is immediate left of B

• Y is immediate right of B

• A is second to the right of B

• P is second to the right of A

  Place relative to B (facing centre → right = clockwise)

Order:

• Immediate right of B → Y

• Second right of B → A

• Immediate left of B → Q

So far:
$Q ;-; B ;-; Y ;-; A$

Place P

P is second to the right of A

So:
$Q ;-; B ;-; Y ;-; A ;-; ? ;-; P$

Remaining person = Z

So:

$Q ;-; B ;-; Y ;-; A ;-; Z ;-; P$

Find who is third to the right of Z

From Z (move clockwise):
1st → P
2nd → Q
3rd → B

Final Answer: B
