Why this answer is correct
Given: Eight persons, namely, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H, sit around the square table. Four people sit on the corners, while four people sit on the sides. Persons on each corner face towards the center while persons on each side face away from the center.
1. C sits third to the right of D.
Here, we have 2 Cases, i.e., Case 1 and Case 2.
-
Only two people sit between C and F.
-
B sits immediately to the left of F.
-
Three people sit between B and H.
-
E sits immediately left of H and doesn't sit at the side of the table.
Now, we can eliminate Case 2.
- E and G face in the same direction.
This is our final arrangement,
Hence, the correct answer is A.
