A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. B sits second to the right of D. A is an immediate neighbour of E and C. E sits second to the left of F. What is the position of F with respect to B?
Third to the right
Immediate right
Immediate left
Second to the left
Immediate left
Fix the position of D first, place B second to its right, then position F and E using 'E sits second to the left of F', and finally complete the circle to find F's position with respect to B.
Fix the position of D first, place B second to its right, then position F and E using 'E sits second to the left of F', and finally complete the circle to find F's position with respect to B.
Step 1: Position D and B
Consider 6 persons A, B, C, D, E, and F sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Place D at the top position. Since B sits second to the right of D, B is placed two positions clockwise from D.
Step 2: Position F and E
E sits second to the left of F. With the remaining empty seats, F sits at the bottom-right and E sits at the top-right such that E is second to the left of F.
Step 3: Position A and C
A is an immediate neighbour of E and C. Placing A and C in the remaining spots completes the circle: D тЖТ E тЖТ F тЖТ A тЖТ C тЖТ B in clockwise order.
Step 4: Determine F's position with respect to B
B is at position 6 (or bottom-left) and F is at position 3 (bottom-right). Moving clockwise from B, F is reached after 3 steps, which means F is third to the right of B.
A: Immediate right is incorrect since B and F are separated by two intermediate seats. B: Immediate left is incorrect as B and F are not adjacent. D: Second to the left is incorrect as F is located further around the circle from B.
C is correct because F is located third to the right of B when moving clockwise around the circular table.
In circular seating arrangements facing the centre, moving clockwise corresponds to moving to the right, and moving counter-clockwise corresponds to moving to the left.
