Directions (70-74): Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:

Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H sit around a square table in such a way that four persons sit on each of the four corner of the table and other four persons sit on the middle of side. The one who sits at the corner of table faces inside and the one who sits at the middle side of table faces outwards the centre of table. Persons sitting on opposite sides are exactly opposite to each other.

B sits immediate left of A. Three persons sit between B and C. One person sits between H and C. F sits just left of H but not face outside. E sits 2nd to the left of G. D sits near G.

Who sits opposite to E?

To solve this seating arrangement puzzle, let us analyze the clues step-by-step and place the eight persons (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) around the square table.

Step 1: Understand the seating structure and directions
- Four persons sit at the corners and face inside (towards the center). For these positions, left is clockwise and right is counter-clockwise.
- Four persons sit at the middle of the sides and face outside (away from the center). For these positions, left is counter-clockwise and right is clockwise.
- Persons sitting on opposite sides/corners are exactly opposite to each other.

Step 2: Place A, B, and C
- Let us assume A sits at one of the corners (facing inside).
- Since B sits to the immediate left of A, and A faces inside, B must sit at the middle of the side to the immediate left of A (clockwise direction).
- "Three persons sit between B and C" means C sits directly opposite B. Since B is at the middle of a side, C must also be at the middle of the opposite side.

Step 3: Place H and F
- "One person sits between H and C." Since C is at the middle of a side, H can sit at either of the adjacent middle-side positions.
- "F sits just left of H but does not face outside." Since F does not face outside, F must sit at a corner (facing inside).
- If H sits at the middle side such that F is to its immediate left (counter-clockwise, since H faces outside), F will be at a corner. Specifically, choosing the correct position for H puts H at the middle side adjacent to C, and F at the corner to the immediate left of H.

Step 4: Place G, E, and D
- "E sits 2nd to the left of G."
- "D sits near G."
- By placing G at a corner (facing inside), its second left (clockwise) will be another corner, which is occupied by E.
- D is then placed at the remaining middle-side position, which is adjacent to (near) G.

Step 5: Final Seating Arrangement
Following these steps, the positions around the square table (starting from top-left corner and going clockwise) are:
1. A (Corner - facing inside)
2. B (Middle of side - facing outside)
3. G (Corner - facing inside)
4. D (Middle of side - facing outside)
5. E (Corner - facing inside)
6. C (Middle of side - facing outside)
7. F (Corner - facing inside)
8. H (Middle of side - facing outside)

From the final arrangement, we can see that the person sitting opposite to E (at position 5) is A (at position 1).
