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 immediate right of F?
Correct Answer :
C
Solution :
Based on the given information, we can determine the seating arrangement step-by-step:
1. Understand the Table Structure:
- There is a square table with 8 positions: 4 at the corners and 4 at the middle of the sides.
- Those sitting at the corners face inside (towards the center). For these positions, left is clockwise and right is counter-clockwise.
- Those sitting at the middle of the sides face outside (away from the center). For these positions, left is counter-clockwise and right is clockwise.
2. Analyze the Clues:
- "F sits just left of H but does not face outside." This means F faces inside, so F must sit at one of the corners. Since F is just left of H and H sits at a middle side position (facing outside), if we place H at a middle side (say, position 2), F will be at the corner to its left (position 1).
- "One person sits between H and C." With H at position 2, C can either be at position 4 or position 8. Let's place C at position 8.
- "Three persons sit between B and C." In an 8-person arrangement, three persons between B and C means they are sitting directly opposite each other. Since C is at position 8, B must be at position 4.
- "B sits immediate left of A." Since B is at position 4 (middle side, facing outside), A must be at the corner position 3 (facing inside), because the left of A (clockwise) leads to position 4 (B).
- "E sits 2nd to the left of G" and "D sits near G." The remaining positions are 5 (corner), 6 (middle), and 7 (corner). If G is at corner position 5 (facing inside), 2nd to the left of G (clockwise) is position 7, so E is at position 7. Since D is near G, D must be adjacent to G at middle position 6.
3. Final Seating Arrangement:
- Position 1 (Corner, Inside) ⇒ F
- Position 2 (Middle, Outside) ⇒ H
- Position 3 (Corner, Inside) ⇒ A
- Position 4 (Middle, Outside) ⇒ B
- Position 5 (Corner, Inside) ⇒ G
- Position 6 (Middle, Outside) ⇒ D
- Position 7 (Corner, Inside) ⇒ E
- Position 8 (Middle, Outside) ⇒ C
4. Answering the Question:
We need to find who sits to the immediate right of F.
F sits at position 1 (corner, facing inside). Since F faces inside, the immediate right of F is counter-clockwise, which corresponds to position 8. C sits at position 8.
Therefore, C sits to the immediate right of F. The correct option is C.
