Question

Answer

Answer

Answer

Explanation:

To solve this question, we need to carefully analyze the given information and conditions. Let's break down the information step by step:

(i) A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting along a circle facing the center.

This means that the people are seated in a circular arrangement, and they are facing the center of the circle.

(ii) D is the neighbor of A but not of H.

This tells us that D is sitting next to A, but not next to H. So, the possible seating arrangement for A and D is AD or DA.

(iii) B is the neighbor of F and 4th to the left of D.

From this condition, we can infer that B is sitting next to F, and B is also 4 positions to the left of D. Let's represent the seating arrangement so far:

_ _ _ D _ _ _ _ (A and H are not next to D)
_ _ _ D _ _ _ _ (B is the neighbor of F and 4th to the left of D)
_ _ B D _ F _ _ (We can place B and F according to condition iii)

(iv) E is the neighbor of H and 3rd to the right of F.

Based on this condition, E is sitting next to H, and E is also 3 positions to the right of F. Let's update the seating arrangement:

_ _ _ D _ _ _ E (E is the neighbor of H and 3rd to the right of F)
_ _ _ D _ _ H E (We can place E and H according to condition iv)
_ _ B D _ F H E (The final seating arrangement so far)

(v) C is neither the neighbor of A nor of G.

According to this condition, C cannot be sitting next to A or G. Since we have already placed A and D, and C cannot be their neighbor, the only possible position for C is between B and D. Let's update the seating arrangement:

_ C B D _ F H E (C is neither the neighbor of A nor G)

Now, let's check the options given:

a) CE: There are two people (B and D) sitting between C and E, not three.
b) FH: There are three people (B, D, and F) sitting between F and H, but not between C and E.
c) DC: There are two people (B and D) sitting between D and C, not three.
d) None of these: This is the correct answer as none of the given pairs has three persons sitting between them.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'd' - None of these.
