A, B, E, G, P, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Only L sits between A and P. P sits third to the left of E. G sits to the immediate left of E. B is not an immediate neighbour of P. Who sits fourth to the left of M?
E
L
A
B
E
Fix the reference point (E) and use the 'facing center' rule: Left = Clockwise, Right = Counter-clockwise. Place fixed items first, then deduce the remaining.
Fix the reference point (E) and use the 'facing center' rule: Left = Clockwise, Right = Counter-clockwise. Place fixed items first, then deduce the remaining.
Establish Reference
Place E at the top. G is to the immediate left (clockwise) of E. P is third to the left of E (E тЖТ 1 тЖТ 2 тЖТ 3). So P is placed at the 3rd position clockwise from E.
Position L, A, and M
L sits between A and P. This means the sequence is A-L-P. Since P is at 3rd position, A and L occupy adjacent slots. Filling remaining slots: E(top), G(left-next), B, M, A, L, P.
Final Verification
With E-G-B-M-A-L-P clockwise, B is not an immediate neighbor of P. The 4th position to the left of M is: M(1), B(2), G(3), E(4). Thus, E is the answer.
B: Incorrect, M sits to the right of B. C: Incorrect, L is adjacent to A and P. D: Incorrect, G is immediate left of E.
A is correct because when placing 7 people around the circle, the 4th position to the left of M is occupied by E.
In circular puzzles with an odd number of people, always draw all seats first and label them 1-7 clockwise to visualize left/right movements easily.
