A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Only 2 people sit between A and D when counted from the left of A. E sits to the immediate left of D. G sits to the immediate left of B. G is not an immediate neighbour of D. F sits to the immediate left of C. What is the position of B with respect to C?
Second to the right
Third to the right
Third to the left
Second to the left
Third to the right
Fix the person with the most constraints first (D and E), then place the anchored block (F-C) and the remaining relative positions to finalize the circle.
Fix the person with the most constraints first (D and E), then place the anchored block (F-C) and the remaining relative positions to finalize the circle.
Establish the anchor points
Fix A at the 12 o'clock position. Since there are 2 people between A and D from the left of A, count clockwise: Position 1 (A), 2, 3, 4 (D). Thus, D is at the 4th position clockwise from A.
Place E and the F-C block
E is to the immediate left of D (moving clockwise, E sits at the 3rd position). F is to the immediate left of C (F-C block). Since G is to the immediate left of B (G-B block) and G is not next to D, the only remaining slots for F-C and G-B are such that C is at position 6, F is at position 5, B is at position 2, and G is at position 1.
Verify B relative to C
Arrangement clockwise: A(1), B(2), E(3), D(4), F(5), C(6), G(7). Looking from C (position 6) clockwise, the order is G, A, B. B is the 3rd person to the right of C.
A: Second to the right is incorrect as G is second to the right of C. C: Third to the left is incorrect as it lands on F. D: Second to the left is incorrect as it lands on A.
B is correct because mapping the seats results in the order A, B, E, D, F, C, G, which places B exactly third to the right of C.
In circular seating, always clarify the difference between 'left' and 'right' relative to the center. 'Left' corresponds to clockwise movement, and 'right' corresponds to counter-clockwise movement for inward-facing people.
