Study the given information carefully and answer the following question.

Eight colleagues — E, F, G, H, W, X, Y, and Z — are seated around a circular table. Four of them face towards the center of the table, while the other four face outward (away from the center).

W and E sit opposite each other, and both face towards the center. H sits to the immediate right of W and faces away from the center. G sits to the immediate left of H and faces away from the center. F sits between E and G, facing towards the center. Three people sit between G and Y. X sits to the immediate left of W and faces away from the center. Z sits between Y and E.

Who among the following sits adjacent to E?

Correct Answer: Both F and Z

Step-by-step explanation:

Let eight positions around the circular table be numbered 1 to 8 in a clockwise order.

1. Position of W and E:
W and E sit opposite each other and both face towards the center. Place W at position 1 facing the center. Since E sits opposite to W, E is placed at position 5 and also faces the center.

2. Position of H:
H sits to the immediate right of W and faces away from the center. Since W faces the center from position 1, his right corresponds to position 8. Therefore, H sits at position 8 facing away from the center (outward).

3. Position of X:
X sits to the immediate left of W and faces away from the center. Since W faces the center at position 1, his left corresponds to position 2. Thus, X is at position 2 facing away from the center.

4. Position of G:
G sits to the immediate left of H and faces away from the center. Since H is at position 8 facing outward, the immediate left of H is position 7. Therefore, G is at position 7 facing away from the center.

5. Position of F:
F sits between E (position 5) and G (position 7). The seat between positions 5 and 7 is position 6. Hence, F sits at position 6, facing towards the center.

6. Position of Y:
Three people sit between G and Y. Since G is at position 7, having three people between G and Y puts Y directly opposite G, which is position 3.

7. Position of Z:
Z sits between Y (position 3) and E (position 5). The seat between positions 3 and 5 is position 4. Thus, Z sits at position 4.

Full Seating Arrangement (Clockwise from position 1 to 8):
Position 1: W (Facing Center)
Position 2: X (Facing Outward)
Position 3: Y
Position 4: Z
Position 5: E (Facing Center)
Position 6: F (Facing Center)
Position 7: G (Facing Outward)
Position 8: H (Facing Outward)

Conclusion:
E is seated at position 5. The two colleagues sitting on either side of E (adjacent to E) are Z (at position 4) and F (at position 6). Therefore, both F and Z sit adjacent to E.
