Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a circular table, all facing the centre. B sits opposite A. C sits immediately to the right of A. D sits between B and C. E sits second to the left of A. Who sits immediately to the left of D?
The answer is C. Placing A at seat 1, the clues give the clockwise order A, F, E, B, D, C. For people facing the centre, left is the clockwise side, so the person next to D in that direction is C.
- AA
- BB
- CF
- DCCorrect
Explanation
Number seats 1 to 6 clockwise with A at 1. Facing the centre, left is the clockwise direction, so right of A is seat 6: C. B is opposite at seat 4. D between B and C is seat 5. E, second to the left of A, is seat 3, leaving F at seat 2. Order clockwise: A, F, E, B, D, C. The immediate left of D (clockwise next) is C.
