Six people are sitting in a circle. A is between B and C. D is between E and F. If B is to the immediate right of E, who is to the immediate left of C?
A
B
D
F
F
Fix the reference person (E) and place neighbors relative to their seating direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise) to map the circular path instantly.
Fix the reference person (E) and place neighbors relative to their seating direction (clockwise or anti-clockwise) to map the circular path instantly.
Establish the anchor positions
Given B is to the immediate right of E. Place E at bottom, then B at the next clockwise position.
Incorporate group constraints
A is between B and C. Since B is at the position clockwise to E, A must be the next position clockwise, followed by C.
Place the remaining entities
D is between E and F. Since E and C are already placed with F being the only space left, F must be to the immediate left of E, and D sits between F and E.
Determine final arrangement
The order clockwise is E тЖТ B тЖТ A тЖТ C тЖТ F тЖТ D. Looking at C, the person to the immediate left (moving anti-clockwise) is F.
A: A is adjacent to B and C but not to the immediate left of C. B: B is the immediate right of E, not the left of C. C: D is between E and F, making it physically distant from the immediate left of C.
D is correct because based on the circular arrangement E-B-A-C-F-D, moving in the circle, F occupies the position immediately to the left of C.
In circular puzzles with an even number of people, always check if people are sitting opposite each other first, as this simplifies the placement of remaining members.
