Explanation
A is in seat 4 and D is in seat 7. G has two persons between itself and A, so G is in seat 1 or 7; seat 7 is taken, so G is in seat 1. C is in seat 6 and F in seat 5. E is next to G, so E is in seat 2, leaving B in seat 3. Order: G E B A F C D. Third to the left of C (seat 6) is seat 3, which is B.
