Read the following information to answer the question that follows:
(I) A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting in a circle facing the center and playing a game of cards.
(II) E is an immediate neighbour of A and D.
(III) C is not between F and G;
(IV) G is second to the right of F.
(V) F is to the immediate right of A.
Who are the immediate neighbours of B?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 3
The correct answer is Option (3) → F and G
For people sitting in a circle facing the centre, a person’s right is the anticlockwise direction (seen from above) and the left is clockwise. Seven people fill seven seats.
Put A at the bottom. F is to the immediate right of A, so F is the next seat anticlockwise from A.
G is second to the right of F, so G is two seats anticlockwise from F, with one seat between them.
E is a neighbour of both A and D:
A’s right-hand neighbour is F.
So E sits on A’s left and D on E’s other side.
The two seats left are the one between F and G and the one between G and D:
C is not between F and G.
So C sits between G and D and B takes the seat between F and G.
