Five friends A, B, C, D, and E are sitting around a circular table facing the centre ┬╖ A is between E and D ┬╖ C is to the immediate right of E ┬╖ Who is sitting to the immediate left of D?
B
A
E
C
B
Quick Trick: Fix the reference point (E) and place neighbors relative to it; circle completion determines the last remaining position.
Fix the reference point (E) and place neighbors relative to it; circle completion determines the last remaining position.
Establish the reference point
Place E at any position ┬╖ Since C is to the immediate right of E, place C to the clockwise side of E.
Place A, D, and identify the gap
A is between E and D ┬╖ Since E is already placed, A must be to the immediate left of E (anti-clockwise), and D must be to the immediate left of A.
Final positioning
The sequence clockwise is: E тЖТ C тЖТ B тЖТ D тЖТ A ┬╖ With A between E and D confirmed, B must occupy the remaining seat between C and D.
B is correct because A is between E and D, and C is to the right of E, leaving B to be to the immediate left of D ┬╖ Options B, C, and D are incorrect because they violate the given adjacency constraints or the circular arrangement logic.
A is correct because when we arrange the five friends as E, C, B, D, A in a circle, B sits between C and D, making B the person to the immediate left of D.
In circular puzzles with N people, always draw a circle with N slots and fill fixed neighbors first to minimize errors.
