A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. E sits to the immediate right of D. A is an immediate neighbour of B and D. F sits second to the right of D. What is the position of C with respect to D?
Immediate left
Second to the left
Second to the right
Third to the left
Third to the left
Fix the reference point (D) at the bottom-center and place the remaining individuals based on adjacency constraints one by one.
Fix the reference point (D) at the bottom-center and place the remaining individuals based on adjacency constraints one by one.
Establish the fixed reference
Place D at the bottom position of the circular table. Since E is to the immediate right of D, E occupies the seat to the right of D.
Place the remaining neighbors of D
A is an immediate neighbor of D and B. Since E is already on the right, A must be to the immediate left of D. Since A is a neighbor of B, B must be next to A.
Determine positions of F and C
F is second to the right of D, so skipping E, F sits at the seat after E. The only remaining person, C, must occupy the final vacant seat between F and B.
Verify final arrangement and calculate relative position
The order clockwise from D is D тЖТ E тЖТ F тЖТ C тЖТ B тЖТ A. Counting from D, C is at the 3rd position (to the left/anti-clockwise). Thus, C is third to the left of D.
A: Immediate left is occupied by A. B: Second to the left is occupied by B. C: Second to the right is occupied by F.
D is correct because based on the circular arrangement D-E-F-C-B-A, moving anti-clockwise (left) from D, the sequence is A (1st), B (2nd), and C (3rd).
In circular puzzles, always start with the person who has the most fixed positions mentioned to reduce the number of possible case scenarios.
