Six friends D, E, F, G, J and K are sitting around a circular table facing the center of the table. E sits third to the left of F. F sits second to the left of D. Only J sits between F and G. K is not an immediate neighbor of E. How many people sit between K and G when counted from the right of G?
Two
None
Three
One
Two
Fix the reference point F first and place other members based on relative positions (Left/Right) to lock the circular layout immediately.
Fix the reference point F first and place other members based on relative positions (Left/Right) to lock the circular layout immediately.
Establishing the initial positions
Let F be at position 1. F sits second to the left of D, meaning D is at position 5 (clockwise is left in facing the center). E sits third to the left of F, placing E at position 4 (1-2-3-4).
Placing remaining members
J sits between F and G. If F is at 1, J could be at 6 or 2. If J is at 6, G is at 5, which is occupied by D. Therefore, J must be at 2 and G must be at 3.
Final placement and validation
Positions: F(1), J(2), G(3), E(4), D(5). The only remaining person K must be at 6. K is not adjacent to E, which holds true since K(6) is next to F(1) and J(2), not E(4).
Counting between K and G
Starting from G(3) and moving right (counter-clockwise), the people are at 2(J) and 1(F). Counting from the right of G to K gives two people: J and F.
B: None is incorrect as there are definitely people between them; C: Three is incorrect because the table only has 6 people and the gap is clearly defined as two; D: One is incorrect as it fails to account for both J and F.
A is correct because placing the friends in a circle: F(1), J(2), G(3), E(4), D(5), K(6) shows that counting clockwise from G(3) to K(6) covers J(2) and F(1), totaling two people.
In circular arrangements, always define a starting node (like F) and convert 'left' to clockwise or counter-clockwise directions consistently to avoid spatial errors.
