Seating Arrangement

Question:

A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the center. E is second to the right of F, who is sitting on the immediate right of C. A & D are the only persons sitting between G & E.

(A) B is third to the right of G.
(B) C is the immediate right of G.
(C) D is the immediate right of B.
(D) G is second to the left of F.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.

Options:

(C) and (D) only

(A), (B) and (D) only

(A), (B), and (C) only

(A), (B), (C) and (D)

Correct Answer:

(A), (B) and (D) only

Explanation:

The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (D) only

Given:

  • All face the centre ⇒ right = clockwise, left = anticlockwise.
  • F is on the immediate right of C.
  • E is second to the right of F.
  • A and D are the only persons sitting between G and E.

Seating arrangement (clockwise)

Fix C anywhere (circular seating).

  • C → F (immediate right)
  • F → E (second to the right)

Placing them clockwise:

C → F → _ → E → _ → _ → _

Now, A and D are the only persons between G and E ⇒ G must be three seats away from E, with A and D in between.

This gives the final arrangement:

C – F – B – E – A – D – G (clockwise)
(A and D can swap positions, but conclusions remain the same)

Check statements

(A) B is third to the right of G
G → C (1st) → F (2nd) → B (3rd) True

(B) C is the immediate right of G
Immediate right of G is C True

(C) D is the immediate right of B
Immediate right of B is E, not D False

(D) G is second to the left of F
Left of F → C (1st) → G (2nd) True

Correct answer: (A), (B) and (D) only
