Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a square table facing the centre. One pair of the person are sitting each side of the table and no person is sitting at corner. i. B is facing D and is sitting to the right of E. ii. F, who is neighbour of D, is facing G. iii. There are two persons between C and H, and H is not facing E. Who might be sitting between C and E, if there is only person between them? Correct Answer B

Eight friends: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.

i. B is facing D and is sitting to the right of E.

ii. F, who is neighbour of D, is facing G.

From the above statements the sitting arrangement is as given below:

iii. There are two persons between C and H, and H is not facing E.

From this statement, there are 3 cases possible:

  • Now, one place is remaining, and "A" is remaining to sit. so A will sit on that place.
  • So, the final sitting arrangement of 8 friends is as given below:

  • Now, the question says there is only person between C and E. So, cases 1 and 3 are eliminated.
  • In figure (2), when counted from the right of E, we can see that there is only one person between E and C.

[ alt="F2 Madhuri Railways 03.08.2022 D4 V2" src="//storage.googleapis.com/tb-img/production/22/08/F2_Madhuri_Railways_03.08.2022_D4_V2.png" style="width: 166px; height: 190px;">

As we can see from the figure (2), "B" is sitting between E and C.

Hence, the correct answer is "B".
