Show Answer

Correct Answer :

Option D

B

Solution :

The correct answer is B.

Let us solve this step-by-step by placing the six friends (A, B, C, D, E, and F) around a circular table with six equally spaced seats. Since they are all facing the centre, "left" refers to the clockwise direction and "right" refers to the counter-clockwise direction.

Step 1: Position D and B
Let us place D at the top position (12 o'clock position).
Since they are facing the centre, the immediate left of D is in the clockwise direction, which corresponds to the 2 o'clock position. Therefore, B is seated at the 2 o'clock position.

Step 2: Position C and A
We are given that C is seated between A and B.
Since B is at the 2 o'clock position, C must be seated at the 4 o'clock position, and A must be seated at the 6 o'clock position for C to be directly between them.

Step 3: Position E
We are told that C is facing E.
At a round table with six seats, the seat directly opposite (facing) the 4 o'clock position is the 10 o'clock position. Therefore, E is seated at the 10 o'clock position.

Step 4: Position F
We have placed D (12 o'clock), B (2 o'clock), C (4 o'clock), A (6 o'clock), and E (10 o'clock).
The only remaining seat is at the 8 o'clock position, which must be occupied by F.

Step 5: Determine who is facing F
The seat directly opposite (facing) F at the 8 o'clock position is the 2 o'clock position.
Since B is seated at the 2 o'clock position, B is facing F.
