Directions: Study the seating arrangement and answer the question.

Six friends E, G, H, J, K and L are seated around a round table, all facing the centre. H sits directly opposite E. K is immediately to the left of H. L sits opposite K. J is seated third to the right of G. E is not an immediate neighbour of G.

Who is seated second to the right of G?

The correct answer is E.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let us analyze the given conditions step-by-step to arrange the six friends (E, G, H, J, K, L) around a circular table facing the centre. For individuals facing the centre of a circle:
- Right corresponds to the anti-clockwise direction.
- Left corresponds to the clockwise direction.

Step 1: Place E and H
"H sits directly opposite E."
Let us place E at Position 1 (top of the circle). Therefore, H must be placed directly opposite E at Position 4 (bottom of the circle).

Step 2: Place K and L
"K is immediately to the left of H."
Since H faces the centre, the left of H is in the clockwise direction. Moving clockwise from Position 4 places K at Position 5.

"L sits opposite K."
The seat directly opposite Position 5 is Position 2. Thus, L is placed at Position 2.

Step 3: Place G and J
"J is seated third to the right of G."
In a 6-person circular arrangement, sitting "third to the right" is equivalent to sitting directly opposite. The remaining vacant seats are Positions 3 and 6.

"E is not an immediate neighbour of G."
Position 1 is occupied by E, whose adjacent positions are Position 2 and Position 6. Since G cannot sit next to E, G cannot be at Position 6.
Therefore, G must be placed at Position 3, and J takes Position 6.

Final Seating Arrangement (in order from Position 1 to 6):
- Position 1: E
- Position 2: L
- Position 3: G
- Position 4: H
- Position 5: K
- Position 6: J

Step 4: Find who is seated second to the right of G
G is at Position 3. Moving two positions to the right (anti-clockwise):
- 1st to the right of G is Position 2 (L).
- 2nd to the right of G is Position 1 (E).

Hence, E is seated second to the right of G.
