A, B, C, D, E and F are seated in a circle, facing the centre. D is between F and B. A is second to the left of D and second to the right of E.
Who is sitting between A and E?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → C
Facing the centre, moving to a person’s left means moving clockwise and moving to the right means moving anticlockwise.
D is between F and B, so F and B are D’s two neighbours (which side each is on is not fixed)
A is second to the left of D, so A is two seats clockwise from D; the seat between them is one of D’s neighbours, F or B
A is second to the right of E, so E is two seats clockwise from A
Going clockwise from D the seats are: F or B, A, the seat between A and E, E, and then the other of F and B (D’s second neighbour)
D, F, B, A and E are all placed, so the only person left for the seat between A and E is C
