Arrange 6 people around circular table facing centre
Place F and D
Facing centre, clockwise movement is to the left. Since D sits to the immediate left of F, moving clockwise from F gives D.
Place B and C
B is an immediate neighbour of C and F. Since D occupies the seat to the left of F, B must occupy the seat to the right (counter-clockwise) of F. Thus, C sits next to B.
Place A and E
A sits between E and C. Since C is placed, A sits next to C, and E sits next to A. This leaves E adjacent to D.
Determine Position of D relative to E
Looking clockwise around the circle: E тЖТ D тЖТ F тЖТ B тЖТ C тЖТ A тЖТ E. Facing centre from position E, the right-hand side is clockwise, which is D.
D is to the immediate right of E.
