Eight persons, D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K, are sitting around a square table, facing the centre. Four of them sit at the corners and four at the middle of the sides. D sits at the middle of a side, opposite K. G sits at a corner, to the immediate right of D. D is an immediate neighbour of both E and G. I is not an immediate neighbour of H. F sits at the middle of a side, opposite H. F is an immediate neighbour of E.
Who is sitting diagonally opposite E?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → J
Facing the centre, moving to a person’s left means moving clockwise and moving to the right means moving anticlockwise. Around the table, corner seats and side seats come one after the other.
Put D at the middle of the bottom side. K is opposite D: K at the middle of the top side
G is at the corner to D’s immediate right: G at the bottom-right corner
D’s two neighbours are G and E, so E is at the bottom-left corner
F is a neighbour of E and sits at the middle of a side; E’s other neighbour is the middle of the left side, so F is at the middle of the left side
H is opposite F: H at the middle of the right side
I and J take the two top corners. The top-right corner is next to H, and I is not a neighbour of H, so I is at the top-left corner and J at the top-right corner
E is at the bottom-left corner; the corner diagonally opposite it is the top-right corner, where J sits
