Question

Eight friends 'A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H' are sitting in a circle facing the centre. 'B' is sitting between 'G' and 'D'. 'H' is third to the left of 'B' and second to the right of 'A'. 'C' is sitting between 'A' and 'G'. And 'B' and 'E' are not sitting opposite to each other.

Which of the following statements is not correct?

• A. 'C' is third to the right of 'D'
• B. 'A' is sitting between 'C' and 'F'
• C. 'D' and 'A' are sitting opposite of each other
• D. 'E' is sitting between 'H' and 'D'
• E. 'E' and 'C' are sitting opposite to each other

Answer 1

The correct option is D 'E' is sitting between 'H' and 'D'

Either DBG sit clockwise or anti-clockwise. If they sit anti-clockwise, H is third left to B and thus, A is 3rd right to B. But in this way, C can't be between A and G.
Thus, D-B-G sit clockwise. Thus H is third left to B and thus, A is 3rd right to B. Also, C is between A and G, thus, 2nd right to B. E is not opposite B which means E is 2nd left to B and thus, F is 4th left to B.
E is sitting between H and D, not F and D.
