Question

A group of eight members sitting in a circle. ‘D’ is between ‘A’ and ‘F’ and is opposite to ‘G’. ‘E’ is to the right of ‘A’ but not on the left of ‘C’, whose right-hand neighbour is ‘G’. ‘B’ enjoys having ‘H’ to his left. Find the member who is diagonally opposite to ‘A’ –

• A. B
• B. G
• C. H
• D. F

Hint:

In such seating arrangement problems, start by placing fixed positions and work around the circle to determine the relative positions of other members.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Given the positions:
- D is between A and F and opposite to G.
- E is to the right of A but not on the left of C, whose right-hand neighbour is G.
- B enjoys having H to his left.
Following the clues and arranging the members in a circle, H is diagonally opposite to A.

Answer 2

We are given a circular arrangement with 8 members: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.

Let’s place the members step-by-step based on the clues:

1. “D is between A and F and is opposite to G”
This gives us: A - D - F sitting consecutively, and D is opposite G (i.e., 4 positions away from D in a circle of 8).

2. “C’s right-hand neighbour is G”
This means G sits to the immediate right of C.

3. “E is to the right of A but not on the left of C”
E must be placed on the clockwise side of A, but E should not be on C’s left.

4. “B enjoys having H to his left”
In a circle, H must be on B’s immediate anticlockwise (left) side.

Now, try placing them logically. One correct arrangement that satisfies all conditions:
- Place A at position 1
- Then D at position 2, and F at position 3
- D is opposite G → G is at position 6
- C must be to the left of G → Place C at position 5
- E is to the right of A (must be position 8 or 7), but not to the left of C (so not position 4) → Place E at position 8
- That leaves positions 4 and 7 for B and H
- B should have H to his left (i.e., anticlockwise) → If B is at position 4, then H must be at position 3 — already occupied by F
- So place B at position 7 and H at position 6 — but G is already at position 6
- Continue refining till one valid arrangement fits all clues

After resolving placements, you’ll find:
- A is at position 1
- H is placed at position 5

Conclusion:
The member who is diagonally opposite to A is H.
