Seven friends A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table facing the center. D is second to the left of G. A is between F and D. E is not a neighbor of G. C is to the immediate right of B. Who is sitting to the immediate left of D?
A
F
B
E
F
Fix the reference person (G) and place relative neighbors first; use the condition that E is not a neighbor of G to fix the remaining positions.
Fix the reference person (G) and place relative neighbors first; use the condition that E is not a neighbor of G to fix the remaining positions.
Establish Reference
Place G at the bottom of the circular table. D is second to the left of G, so if G is at 6 o'clock, D is at 3 o'clock (moving clockwise).
Place A, F and C, B
A is between F and D, so A must be to the immediate right of D (at 2 o'clock) and F is to the immediate right of A (at 1 o'clock). C is immediate right of B, which means they must occupy the remaining adjacent seats. With G, F, A, D placed, the remaining seats are at 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 o'clock. Since E is not a neighbor of G, E cannot be at 5 or 7 o'clock. Placing B and C at 9 and 10 o'clock and E at 12 o'clock satisfies all constraints.
Verify final arrangement
Clockwise order starting from G: G, (empty at 7), B, C, E, F, A, D. Re-check: D is second left of G (Correct). A is between F and D (Correct). E is not neighbor of G (Correct). C is immediate right of B (Correct).
A: A is to the immediate right of D. C: B is sitting between C and the empty seat (or G), not to the left of D. D: E is sitting elsewhere in the circle.
B is correct because following the established clockwise arrangement (G-B-C-E-F-A-D), F is placed to the immediate left of D.
In circular puzzles with 7 people, always look for the person not adjacent to the reference point first, as this significantly limits the number of possible positions for remaining entities.
