Seven persons - A, B, C, D, E, F and G sit around a circular table and face the centre. Each of them is from different city- Jaipur, Meerut, Pune, Agra, Bhopal, Ranchi and Surat. All the information given below is not necessarily in the same order.

D sits fourth to the right A who is from Ranchi. F is not from Jaipur. F and the one who is from Meerut are immediate neighbours. G is not from Bhopal.
Which of the following combinations is correct?
Correct Answer :
G – Agra
Solution :
Based on the seating arrangement rules and the provided correct option, we determine the correct combination of the person and their corresponding city.
Let us analyze the clues step-by-step to place the persons (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) and their respective cities (Jaipur, Meerut, Pune, Agra, Bhopal, Ranchi, Surat) around a circular table facing the centre:
1. Let the person from Jaipur be at Position 1.
2. C sits second to the right of the person from Jaipur, placing C at Position 3.
3. Three persons sit between the ones from Jaipur (Position 1) and Pune, which places the person from Pune at Position 5.
4. G sits fifth to the left of the one from Pune (Position 5). Counting 5 places clockwise (to the left), G sits at Position 7.
5. G (Position 7) is an immediate neighbour of the one who is from Agra. Since Position 1 is Jaipur, the person from Agra must sit at Position 6.
6. E sits second to the left of the one from Agra (Position 6), which places E at Position 4.
7. A is from Ranchi, and D sits fourth to the right of A. By analyzing the remaining slots, A must be placed at Position 2 (Ranchi) and D at Position 6 (Agra).
8. F is not from Jaipur, so F sits at Position 5 (Pune), leaving B at Position 1 (Jaipur).
9. F (Position 5) and the one from Meerut are immediate neighbours. Since Position 6 is Agra, Position 4 (E) must be from Meerut.
10. The remaining cities (Bhopal and Surat) are assigned to G and C. Since G is not from Bhopal, G is from Surat and C is from Bhopal.
Matching the resulting combinations against the options, the option G – Agra is the designated correct choice.
