(B) C is the immediate right of G.

Choose the correct answer from the options given below.
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → (A), (B) and (D) only
All seven face the centre, so a person’s right is the anticlockwise direction round the table. The seats are fixed clue by clue:
F is on the immediate right of C, so F sits next to C on the anticlockwise side.
E is second to the right of F, so one seat lies between F and E, further anticlockwise.
G has only A and D between itself and E:
Going clockwise from E, the third seat is C’s, so G must be the third seat anticlockwise from E.
G sits on C’s other side, and A and D take the two seats between E and G in either order.
The one seat left, between F and E, goes to B.
(A) B is third to the right of G. Correct. Moving anticlockwise from G, the seats are C, F and then B third.
(B) C is the immediate right of G. Correct. The first seat anticlockwise from G is C’s.
(C) D is the immediate right of B. Incorrect. The seat on B’s immediate right is E’s; D sits beyond E.
(D) G is second to the left of F. Correct. Moving clockwise (to the left) from F, the first seat is C and the second is G.
