B, C, D, E, F, K and L are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. D sits to the immediate right of E. Only three people sit between E and L. B sits to the immediate right of C. Only three people sit between D and F when counted from the left of D. How many people sit between K and C when counted from the left of C?
Four
One
Two
Three
Two
Place the fixed reference point (E, D) first and then use the relative spacing constraints (D to F, E to L) to map the circular sequence.
Place the fixed reference point (E, D) first and then use the relative spacing constraints (D to F, E to L) to map the circular sequence.
Mapping the Seating Positions
Let there be 7 positions in a circle. Placing E at position 1. Since D is to the immediate right of E, D is at position 7 (if facing center, right is clockwise or counter-clockwise depending on convention; standard: position 2). Let's set E at pos 1, D at pos 2 (immediate right). Three people between E and L means L is at pos 5. B sits to the immediate right of C. Only three people between D and F when counted from the left of D means 3-4-5-6 are the spots, so F is at pos 6.
Identifying Remaining Members
Positions: 1:E, 2:D, 3:?, 4:?, 5:L, 6:F, 7:?. Remaining are B, C, K. B is immediate right of C. If C is 3, B is 4. Then K must be 7. Sequence (clockwise): E, D, C, B, L, F, K.
Final Counting
The question asks for the number of people between K and C when counted from the left of C. In our arrangement, going clockwise from C (pos 3) to K (pos 7): C(3) тЖТ B(4) тЖТ L(5) тЖТ F(6) тЖТ K(7). The people between them are B, L, and F. There are 3 people.
A: Represents one person which is incorrect. B: Represents two persons which is incorrect. D: Represents four persons which is incorrect.
C is correct because our deduced arrangement (E-D-C-B-L-F-K) places three people (B, L, F) between C and K when counting clockwise from the left of C.
In circular seating, always clarify if 'left' means clockwise or counter-clockwise relative to the center; for a standard face-to-center arrangement, the left of a person is their clockwise neighbor.
