Question

Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting on a round table facing the centre. A sits second to the left of D, who sits third to the left of E. C sits third to the right of G, who is not an immediate neighbour of E. H sits opposite to the E. B is between A and C.
Who sits opposite to A?

• A. E
• B. G
• C. D
• D. F

Hint:

In circular arrangements, always fix one person’s position and apply all directional constraints step-by-step.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: Place E at any reference point (say position 1). 
D is third to the left of E \(\Rightarrow\) position 6 (in clockwise).
A is second to the left of D \(\Rightarrow\) position 4. 
Step 2: H is opposite to E \(\Rightarrow\) position 5. 
C is third to the right of G. Try positions for G and verify constraints.
Eventually we find that opposite of A (position 4) is position 8, which is F.
