Correct answer
Third to the right
Why this answer is correct
Given:
Eight persons - A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H
Four of them sit at four corners facing toward the center.
Four sit at the middle of the sides facing outside.
Now,
1) G does not sit at the corner.
2) D sits second to the left of A who sits third left of G.
3) C sits third to the left of B who is not a neighbour of G.
The possibilities are -
- Only two persons sit between F and H who sits opposite to E. This is not possible in Case II and Case III.
Thus, the final arrangement is -
D is third to the right of B.
The correct answer is D.
