Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a rectangular table. Two sit on each long side (north side facing south, south side facing north), one at the west end facing east, and one at the east end facing west. A sits at the west end and B at the east end. C sits to the immediate right of A. D sits opposite C. F sits to the immediate left of B. Who sits to the immediate right of E?
D sits to the immediate right of E. E occupies the north-east seat on the north side, facing south. Facing south, the right-hand side is west, and the person seated there is D. B sits on E's left, which is the common mistake.

- BDCorrect
- CC
- DF
Explanation
A faces east, so A's right is the south side, and C is the south-west seat. D is opposite C, in the north-west seat. B faces west, so B's left is the south side, and F is the south-east seat. So E is in the north-east seat, facing south, and E's right is west, which is D. B is E's left, so option B is wrong.
