A, B, E, F, L, M and P are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. Only three people sit between P and E when counted from the left of P. Only three people sit between M and A when counted from the right of A. L sits to the immediate right of M. F is an immediate neighbour of A as well as E. Who sits second to the left of B?
F
P
E
A
F
Start by fixing P and using the condition about the number of people between P and E. Then place L, M, and A using adjacency and gap clues.
Start by fixing P and using the condition about the number of people between P and E. Then place L, M, and A using adjacency and gap clues.
Step 1: Position P and E
Total 7 people (A, B, E, F, L, M, P) are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. There are three people between P and E when counted from the left of P. This means if P is at position 1, E is at position 5.
Step 2: Place F, A, M, and L
F is an immediate neighbor of A and E. L sits to the immediate right of M. Only three people sit between M and A when counted from the right of A. Placing the remaining positions correctly yields the clockwise order: P, F, E, A, M, L, B.
Step 3: Determine second to the left of B
B is sitting at the bottom position. Facing the centre, the immediate left of B is L, and the second to the left of B is A.
B: F is a neighbor of A and E, not second to left of B. C: E is separated by 3 positions from P, incorrect for second left of B. D: M is positioned between A and L, not second to left of B.
A is correct because A is sitting second to the left of B in the verified circular arrangement.
In circular arrangements facing the centre, 'immediate right' is counter-clockwise and 'immediate left' is clockwise. Always fix one anchor person first to simplify relative placements.
