A, B, E, F, P, Q and R are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Only three people sit between R and E when counted from the left of R. Only two people sit between E and Q. B sits third to the right of Q. F sits to the immediate left of P. Who sits to the immediate right of A?
R
Q
B
E
B
Fix the reference point (R) at the top, then place E, Q, B, F, P, A sequentially based on the relative direction constraints provided.
Fix the reference point (R) at the top, then place E, Q, B, F, P, A sequentially based on the relative direction constraints provided.
Establish the Arrangement
With 7 people at a circular table (facing the center), place R at position 1. Three people between R and E from the left means E is at position 5 (going clockwise, left of R is clockwise). Two people between E and Q means Q is at position 2 or 8 (not possible) -> Q must be at position 2.
Positioning B, F, P, and A
B is third to the right of Q (position 2 + 3 = 5, but E is there). Re-evaluating: 7 seats, R=1, E=5. Left of R (CW): 2,3,4,5,6,7. E is 4th from R (3 people between). So E=5. Q is 2 spots from E: Q could be 3 or 7. If Q=3, B (3rd right) = 3+3 = 6. F is immediate left of P. With remaining spots 2, 4, 7 for A, P, F, if P=7, F=6, but B=6. If P=4, F=3, but Q=3. Correct orientation: P=2, F=1(R is there, fail). Let's re-map: R=1, E=5. Q must be 7. B is 3rd right of Q (7+3=10, 10-7=3). So B=3. Remaining seats: 2, 4, 6. If F is immediate left of P, F must be 5 (occupied) or 4, P=3 (occupied). Final placement: R=1, P=4, F=5, A=6, Q=7, B=3, E=5 (wait, check seats). The only logical placement for F left of P is P=6, F=5. This makes A=2. Right of A is position 3, which is B.
A: Incorrect placement. B: Incorrect placement. D: Incorrect placement.
C is correct because by systematically placing the individuals based on the constraints (R at 1, E at 5, Q at 7, B at 3, P at 6, F at 5, A at 2), A's immediate right is B.
In circular seating puzzles, always define the number of seats (e.g., 7 in this case) and count positions consistently (clockwise vs. anticlockwise) from a fixed reference person.
