The Correct Option is A
Solution and Explanation
We need to find who is to A’s immediate right.
- Step 1: Set up the table: Four positions (1, 2, 3, 4) in a circle.
- Step 2: Apply conditions:
- A is to the left of B: A in \( n \), B in \( n+1 \) (clockwise).
- C is opposite D: C in \( m \), D in \( m+2 \) (or vice versa).
- Step 3: Test arrangement: Place A in 1, B in 2. C in 3, D in 4 (opposite). Check: A left of B, C opposite (d) Right of A (1) is B (2).
- Step 4: Check options:
- (a) B: Matches.
- (b) C: Incorrect.
- (c) D: Incorrect.
- (d) Cannot be determined: Incorrect, as B is confirme(d)
Thus, the answer is a.
