✅ Answers & Explanations

Eight persons—A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H—are sitting around a circular table.

Since no direction of facing is specified, we assume that everyone is facing the centre. Therefore:

  • Left means clockwise.

  • Opposite means four seats away.

Step 1: Place H and F

F is three places to the left of H.

Fix H at any position. Counting three places clockwise from H, place F.

Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Person: H _ _ F _ _ _ _

Step 2: Place A, G and B

A sits opposite G, and B sits immediately to the left of G.

Also, A is not adjacent to H.

There are two possible ways to place G, A and B initially.

Possibility 1

Place G immediately to the left of H:

  • G occupies Position 2.

  • B, being immediately to the left of G, occupies Position 3.

  • A, being opposite G, occupies Position 6.

Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Person: H G B F _ A _ _

This satisfies the condition that A is not adjacent to H.

Possibility 2

The other possible placement would make B sit opposite F.

However, the clue clearly states that B is not opposite F. Therefore, this possibility is rejected.

Hence, the confirmed arrangement is:

Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Person: H G B F _ A _ _

Step 3: Place C

The remaining persons are C, D and E, and the remaining positions are 5, 7 and 8.

C is not adjacent to A.

A is at Position 6, so the seats adjacent to A are Positions 5 and 7.

Therefore, C cannot occupy Positions 5 or 7.

Hence:

  • C occupies Position 8.

Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Person: H G B F A C

Step 4: Place D and E

The remaining positions are 5 and 7.

H is not opposite D.

The position opposite H is Position 5. Therefore, D cannot occupy Position 5.

Hence:

  • D occupies Position 7.

  • E occupies Position 5.

Final Arrangement

Starting from H and moving clockwise:

H → G → B → F → E → A → D → C

                H
         C             G

     D                     B

         A             F
                E

  2. H is not opposite D. ✓

  3. C is not adjacent to A. ✓

  4. A is opposite G. ✓

  5. B is not opposite F. ✓

  6. A is not adjacent to H. ✓

Answers

1. Who is sitting opposite H?

The person sitting four places away from H is E.

Answer: a) E

2. Who is sitting to the immediate left of E?

Everyone faces the centre, so left is clockwise.

A sits immediately clockwise from E.

Answer: d) A

3. Who is sitting opposite F?

The person four places away from F is C.

Answer: c) C

4. Who is sitting two places away to the left of G?

Moving clockwise from G:

  • First place: B

  • Second place: F

Therefore, F is two places to the left of G.

Answer: b) F

Final Answers

  1. a) E

  2. d) A

  3. c) C

  4. b) F
