Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre. G and H are not to the immediate left or right of A. D is sitting second to the left of A and third to the right of B. A and F are the immediate neighbours of C. Who is sitting second to the left of B?

Let's map out the 8 positions around the circular table facing inside:
Place A at position 1.

"D is sitting second to the left of A" → moving clockwise, D is at position 3.

"D is third to the right of B" → counting counter-clockwise from D, B must be at position 8 (since 8 → 1 → 2 → 3 is 3rd to the right).

"A and F are the immediate neighbours of C" → Since A is at position 1, C must be next to A. Position 8 is occupied by B, so C must be at position 2. This leaves F to be at position 3? No, F must be at position 3, but D is already there. Let's re-verify: "A and F are the immediate neighbours of C" means C is between A and F. Since A is at pos 1, C can be at pos 2, making F pos 3 (conflict with D). So C must be at pos 8? But B is at pos 8.

Let's re-verify the direction:

Let positions be 1 to 8 in a counter-clockwise manner.

A =1.

Second to the left of A (clockwise) → D =7.

D(7) is third to the right of B (counter-clockwise). So B+3=7→B=4.

C is an immediate neighbor of A and F → C is between A and F. Since B is at 4 and D is at 7, the neighbors of A(1) are 2 and 8.

If C =2, then F =3.

Now we have positions 5, 6, 8 left for G, H, E.

"G and H are not to the immediate left or right of A" → G and H cannot be at position 8.

Therefore, E must be at position 8.

G and H will occupy positions 5 and 6.

We need to find who is sitting second to the left of B(4):

Left means clockwise direction (increasing position numbers in our convention).

Second to the left of B(4) is position 4+2=6.

Who is at position 6? It must be either G or H. Let's look at the options: A) C, B) E, C) F, D) D. None of these contain G or H.

Let's swap the left/right convention:

Let left be counter-clockwise and right be clockwise.

A =1.

Second to the left of A → D =3.

D(3) is third to the right of B (clockwise) →B=6 (since 6→5→4→3).

C is between A(1) and F. Neighbors of A are 2 and 8.

If C =2, then F =3 (conflict with D).

So C =8, then F =7.

Positions remaining: 4, 5.

G and H cannot be adjacent to A (positions 2 and 8 are taken by C and E? No, 2 is empty).

Wait, neighbors of A are 2 and 8. Position 8 is C. Position 2 is empty. G and H cannot be at 2.

Thus, E must be at position 2.

G and H occupy positions 4 and 5.

Now find who is sitting second to the left of B(6):

Left means counter-clockwise direction.

Second to the left of 6 is 6+2=8.

Who is at position 8? C. This matches Option A!
