A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. B sits third to the left of F. D sits to the immediate left of A. C sits second to the left of B. What is the position of A with respect to E?
Second to the left
Third to the left
Immediate right
Second to the right
Third to the left
Quick Trick: In a 6-person circular arrangement, facing the center, 'third to the left' or 'third to the right' always means sitting directly opposite each other.
In a 6-person circular arrangement, facing the center, 'third to the left' or 'third to the right' always means sitting directly opposite each other.
Fix B relative to F
6 persons (A, B, C, D, E, F) sit around a circle facing the centre. Place F at the top. B sits 3rd to the left of F, which places B directly opposite F at the bottom position.
Place C relative to B
C sits 2nd to the left of B. Moving 2 positions clockwise (left while facing centre) from B puts C between E and F on the left side.
Place D and A
D sits to the immediate left of A. The remaining adjacent vacant seats on the right side are filled by placing A between F and D, and D between A and B, so D is immediately to the left of A.
Place E and determine Position of A wrt E
The last vacant seat between C and B goes to E. The clockwise arrangement from F is F -> A -> D -> B -> E -> C. From E, counting to the left (clockwise): 1st left is C, 2nd left is F, 3rd left is A.
A: Second to the left of E is F, not A. C: Immediate right of E is B, not A. D: Second to the right of E is D, not A.
B is correct because A sits directly opposite E in a 6-person circle, making A 3rd to the left (as well as 3rd to the right) of E.
For a circle of 6 people facing the centre, '3rd to the left' and '3rd to the right' both refer to the person sitting directly opposite. Recognizing opposite pairs saves time.
