Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. E is fourth to the left of D, who is to the immediate left of B. A is to the immediate left of C. F is not sitting adjacent to E. Who is sitting second to the right of F?

  1. A
    B
  2. B
    A
  3. C
    D
  4. D
    E

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's trace the arrangement around the circular table based on the constraints. Facing the center implies standard left-right circular conventions.
Let's arrange them relative to each other. "E is fourth to the left of D." In a 6-seat circle, being 4th to the left is identical to being 2nd to the right.

"D is to the immediate left of B." This fixes the relative layout of B and D.

"A is to the immediate left of C." This means A and C must occupy adjacent seats.

"F is not sitting adjacent to E."

Following these constraints, the unique valid clockwise positioning sequence around the table is:
D, B, F, E, C, A

Let's locate F in this sequence. To find who sits second to the right of F, we move two positions in the counter-clockwise direction (right) from F, which lands directly on E.
