Seven people are standing facing south. B is second to the right of the person in the middle and C is third to the left of B. A is to the immediate left of C. What is the position of A with respect to the person in the middle?

Let there be 7 positions numbered 1 to 7 from Left to Right.Since all people are facing South: "Right" means moving towards the Left of our viewing perspective."Left" means moving towards the Right of our viewing perspective.Let's map out the positions:The person in the middle is at position 4.B is second to the right of the middle person (Position 4). Since facing South, right is towards position 1. So, B is at position: $4-2=2$.C is third to the left of B. Left means moving towards position 7. So, C is at position: $2+3=5$.A is to the immediate left of C. Immediate left means one position further towards position 7. So, A is at position: $5+1=6$.Let's analyze the position of A (Position 6) with respect to the middle person (Position 4):Position 6 is 2 places away from Position 4 towards the left side from the perspective of someone facing South.Therefore, A is second to the left of the person in the middle.
