B, C, D, E, F, G and K are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. Only two people sit between E and F when counted from the left of F. G sits third to the left of K. C sits to the immediate right of K. C sits second to the left of E. B is not an immediate neighbour of G. Who sits third to the right of B?
K
D
F
G
D
Start by placing fixed constraints (C, K, G) and determine the circular positions clockwise; then use the relative positions of E, F, and B to complete the circle.
Start by placing fixed constraints (C, K, G) and determine the circular positions clockwise; then use the relative positions of E, F, and B to complete the circle.
Establish K, C, and G
Place K at a position. C sits to the immediate right of K. G sits third to the left of K (which is the same as 4th to the right). Clockwise positions: K, C, _, _, G, _, _.
Place E and F
C sits second to the left of E, meaning E is second to the right of C. Placing E results in the sequence K, C, D, E. Two people sit between E and F (counted left of F). With E at position 4, F sits at position 7.
Finalize positions and check B
The remaining seat for B is between G and E. B is not a neighbor of G, which confirms B is between E and D? No, wait: Remaining spots are between G/E and E/K. If B is between E and D, then the order is K(1), C(2), D(3), E(4), B(5), G(6), F(7). Let's verify: B is not a neighbor of G. If B is at 5, neighbors are E and G. If B is at 7, neighbors are F and K. The constraint 'B is not a neighbor of G' forces B to be at 7, meaning F is at 6. Final Order: K, C, D, E, [Empty], G, F, B.
A: Incorrect, D: Incorrect, C: Incorrect. Based on the arrangement K-C-D-E-B-G-F (clockwise), the third to the right of B is C.
B is correct because following the seating rules, B sits between G and F, and moving 3 positions clockwise from B (to the right) leads to C.
In circular puzzles, always draw the circle first and mark positions 1-7 clockwise to avoid confusion with left/right orientation.
