Six friends Anil, Bina, Chetan, Deepa, Esha and Farhan sit around a circular table, all facing the centre. Anil sits second to the left of Bina. Chetan sits immediately to the right of Bina. Deepa sits opposite Bina. Farhan sits between Deepa and Chetan. Who sits immediately to the left of Esha?
Anil sits immediately to the left of Esha. Placing Bina first and going clockwise for left, Anil is third, Deepa fourth, Farhan fifth, Chetan sixth and Esha second. For someone facing the centre, the left neighbour is the next seat clockwise, which is Anil.

Explanation
Facing the centre, a person's left is the clockwise direction. Put Bina at position 1. Anil is at 3, Chetan at 6 and Deepa at 4. Farhan sits between Deepa and Chetan, so he is at 5 and Esha is at 2. The immediate left of Esha is position 3, which is Anil. Bina is on Esha's right, so she is wrong.
