Let's break down the information step by step and try to deduce the seating arrangement around the circular table.
- G sits opposite to B.G and B are directly across from each other.
- One person sits between A and C, who sits second to the right of H.This implies H is not sitting immediately beside A or C. C sits two places to the right of H.
- Both G and B do not sit immediate left of H.G and B cannot be sitting next to H on the left.
- D sits second to the left of B.The second left of B means there is one person between B and D.
- A doesn’t sit beside D.A is not sitting next to D.
- E doesn’t face C.E is not sitting opposite to C.
Let’s now start placing the people based on this information:
- G and B are opposite each other. Let's assume that B is at position 1 and G will be at position 5 (since they are opposite).
- D sits second to the left of B. If B is at position 1, the second left will be position 7. So, D is at position 7.
- C sits one person between A and C, and C is second to the right of H. Let’s place H at position 8, so C must be at position 3 (since C sits second to the right of H). A must then be at position 2.
- E is not facing C, and A doesn’t sit beside D, so E must be at position 6.
- This leaves F to be at position 4.
Now, let’s summarize the seating arrangement:
- B
- A
- C
- F
- G
- E
- D
- H
Now, the question asks: Who among the following sits 3rd to the left of the one who sits opposite to D?
- D is at position 7. The person opposite D is at position 3 (C).
- Now, let's find the person who sits 3rd to the left of C. Starting from position 3 (C), counting 3 places to the left: 1 (B), 2 (A), 3 (F). So, F sits 3rd to the left of C.
Thus, the correct answer is c) F.

 | Snehal Patel answered |
Arrangement of Students
To determine who sits immediate right of Kirti, we need to visualize the seating arrangement based on the provided clues.
Step-by-Step Analysis
- Divya sits third to the left of Ayushi: This clue establishes a relative position between Divya and Ayushi. If Ayushi is at position 1, Divya will be at position 4.
- Sona sits immediate left of Ankita: Since Ankita sits on the side of the table, Sona must also be on the side and placed to her left.
- Kirti sits opposite to Manu, both facing away from the center: This means if Kirti is at position 2, Manu will be at position 6, both on the sides of the table.
- Neither Kirti nor Manu are beside Ayushi: This confirms that Ayushi cannot be at positions 1, 3, 5, or 7. Therefore, Ayushi must occupy position 1.
- Bobby is not an immediate right of Ayushi: Since Ayushi is at position 1, Bobby cannot be at position 2.
- Bobby is not adjacent to Manu: This means Bobby cannot be at positions 5 or 7 (since Manu is at 6).
Final Arrangement
Given the above clues and deductions, we can visualize the positions:
- Position 1: Ayushi
- Position 2: Kirti
- Position 3: Divya
- Position 4: Sona
- Position 5: Ankita
- Position 6: Manu
- Position 7: Bobby
Now, since Kirti is at position 2, his immediate right (position 3) is occupied by Divya.
Conclusion
The immediate right of Kirti is Divya, which was incorrectly stated in the original question as Bobby.
However, based on the multiple choice options, the correct answer to the question "Who sits immediate right of Kirti?" should state Divya.
Please correct the answer accordingly based on this analysis.

Understanding the Seating Arrangement
To solve the problem, we need to position the individuals based on the given clues. They are P, L, R, K, O, and M sitting around a circular table facing the center.
Step-by-Step Arrangement
1. Position P and K:
- There are two persons between P and K, and K is to the right of P.
- So, if P is at position 1, then K will be at position 4.
- Arrangement so far: P (1), ?, ? , K (4)
2. Position M:
- M is the immediate right of K, which places M at position 5.
- Arrangement now: P (1), ?, ?, K (4), M (5)
3. Position R and O:
- R is adjacent to both K and O. Since K is at position 4 and M is at position 5, R can only be at position 3.
- This means O must be at position 2.
- Updated arrangement: P (1), O (2), R (3), K (4), M (5)
4. Position L:
- The only remaining position is 6, which will be occupied by L.
- Final arrangement: P (1), O (2), R (3), K (4), M (5), L (6)
Final Positions
- P is at position 1
- O is at position 2
- R is at position 3
- K is at position 4
- M is at position 5
- L is at position 6
Finding L's Position with Respect to O
- Since O is at position 2 and L is at position 6, L is second to the left of O (counting positions: 2 -> 1 -> 6).
Conclusion
Thus, the position of L with respect to O is second to the left (Option B).

To solve the problem, let's first visualize the seating arrangement around the triangular table based on the given clues.
Initial Seating Arrangement
1. Identifying Positions:
- There are three corners (A, B, C, D, E, F) and three middle positions.
- Persons in corners face away from the center, and those in middle positions face toward the center.
2. Analyzing Clues:
- C and D: Three persons sit between C and D, and D does not face the center.
- F's Position: F is third to the left of C.
- A's Position: A is not an immediate neighbor of D and sits second to the left of E.
3. Building the Arrangement:
- Since D is not facing the center, it must occupy a corner. If we place D at one corner, C can be positioned accordingly.
- For example, if we place D at the top corner, C must be at the bottom left corner (with three persons in between).
- F is then positioned accordingly to maintain the third left position from C.
After placing all individuals based on these clues, we arrive at the following arrangement:
- Corner Positions: D, A, C
- Middle Positions: F, E, B
After Interchanging B and D
1. New Arrangement:
- After the interchange, D moves to B's position (middle) and B goes to D's position (corner).
- The new positions would be:
- D (middle), A (corner), C (corner)
- F, E, B (corner)
2. Finding 3rd to the Left of D:
- In the new arrangement, counting left from D:
- 1st left: A
- 2nd left: C
- 3rd left: E
Thus, after rearrangement, E is sitting 3rd to the left of D.
Final Answer
The correct answer is option 'C', E.

Understanding the Seating Arrangement
To solve the problem, we need to visualize the seating arrangement based on the clues given:
1. Table Shape: The table is triangular with three corners and three edges.
2. Clue Breakdown:
- C and D: There are three persons between C and D. D does not face the center.
- F's Position: F sits third to the left of C.
- A's Position: A is not an immediate neighbor of D and sits second to the left of E.
Step-by-Step Arrangement
- Position of D: Since D is not facing the center and there are three people between C and D, D must be at a corner position.
- Position of C: With three people between C and D, C must also be at a corner position, suggesting they are opposite each other.
- Position of F: F, being third to the left of C, must thus fit into the arrangement based on C's position.
- Position of A and E: A sits second to the left of E, and A cannot be next to D, further limiting E’s position.
Using these clues and working through the arrangement:
- Let's place D at one corner. Thus, C will be at the opposite corner.
- F's position is then determined, followed by A and E's placement.
Final Arrangement
After arranging all individuals based on the clues, we find:
- A is positioned two places to the left of D, making B the immediate second to the left of D.
Conclusion
Thus, the position of B with respect to D is:
- 2nd to the left (Correct option: d).

Understanding the Seating Arrangement
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given clues step by step to determine the positions of each person around the circular table.
Clue Analysis
- G sits opposite to B.
- One person sits between A and C.
- C sits second to the right of H.
- Neither G nor B sits immediate left of H.
- D sits second to the left of B.
- A doesn't sit beside D.
- E doesn't face C.
Step-by-Step Arrangement
1. Placing B and G: Since G sits opposite B, let's place B at any position (say position 1). Thus, G will be at position 5.
2. Position of H and C: From the clue that C sits second to the right of H, if we place H at position 2, then C will be at position 4. However, H cannot have G or B on the left, so we move H to position 3. Consequently, C goes to position 5, which is already occupied by G. Thus, H must be at position 6, making C at position 8.
3. Placing A: There's one person between A and C. Position 8 (C) means A can be at position 7 or 1. Since A cannot be next to D and D sits second to the left of B (position 3), D must be at position 4, making A at position 7.
4. Position of E: Lastly, the only remaining position is 2 for E.
Final Arrangement
- Position 1: B
- Position 2: E
- Position 3: H
- Position 4: D
- Position 5: G
- Position 6: A
- Position 7: C
Position of G with respect to C
- G is at Position 5, and C is at Position 7.
- Counting from C (Position 7), G is third to the right.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: G is 3rd to the right of C.

- Position 6: A
- Position 7: C
Position of G with respect to C
- G is at Position 5, and C is at Position 7.
- Counting from C (Position 7), G is third to the right.
Thus, the correct answer is option B: G is 3rd to the right of C.
