Four persons A, B, C and D sit at the four corners of a square table, all facing the centre. A sits at the north-west corner. B sits to the immediate right of A (as seen by A facing the centre). C sits diagonally opposite to A. Who sits at the south-west corner?
D sits at the south-west corner. A at the north-west corner facing the centre has the north-east corner on the right, so B sits there. C, diagonally opposite A, takes the south-east corner, leaving the south-west corner for D.

- BC

- DA
Explanation
A faces the centre from the north-west corner, so A faces south-east and the right-hand side of A is the north-east corner. B is at the north-east corner. C is diagonally opposite A, at the south-east corner. D takes the remaining south-west corner. Option B wrongly places C there.
