Q147
ReasoningSeating Arrangement, Ranking & Puzzles
8 persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting by a round table each facing the centre. D is second to the left of F and third to the right of H. A is second to the right of F and an immediate neighbour of H. C is second to the right of B and F is third to the right of B. G is not an immediate neighbour of F. In the above information who is to the immediate left of A?
  1. a.H
  2. b.E
  3. c.G
  4. d.B

Answer: (B) E

For people facing the centre, 'left' means clockwise and 'right' means anticlockwise. Fix F at seat 0 and number the seats clockwise: D is second to the left of F (seat 2) and third to the right of H, so H is at seat 5; A is second to the right of F (seat 6) and is next to H. F is third to the right of B, so B is at seat 3, and C, second to the right of B, is at seat 1. G cannot sit next to F, so G takes seat 4 and E takes seat 7. Clockwise order: F, C, D, B, G, H, A, E - so E is to the immediate left of A.
