Correct answer
Third to the left
Why this answer is correct
-
Since all persons face the centre: right = counterclockwise, left = clockwise. Fix Aw at pos(1). Bt sits second to the right of Aw (counterclockwise): Aw(1) → pos(2) → Bt(3).
-
Ck sits third to the left of Aw (clockwise): Aw(1) → pos(7) → pos(6) → Ck(5).
-
Er sits to the immediate right of Gy (counterclockwise). Dv sits second to the right of Er. The only available adjacent slots fitting this chain Gy → Er → skip → Dv are pos(6), pos(7), and pos(2). So, Gy(6), Er(7), and Dv(2).
-
The only remaining person Fn (Fe) occupies the last vacant position, pos(4). Final: Aw(1), Dv(2), Bt(3), Fn(4), Ck(5), Gy(6), Er(7).
To find the position of Fe (Fn) with respect to Er, we count from Er at pos(7) to Fn at pos(4). Moving clockwise (left): Er(7) → Gy(6) → Ck(5) → Fn(4). This is third to the left.
Hence, the correct answer is 'Option 4'.
