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.

Who is third to the left of 'D'?

• A. A
• B. E
• C. F
• D. C
• E. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

F

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.
