5 persons A, B, C, D and E are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). B is sitting second to the right of D. A is sitting second to the right of B. C is not an immediate neighbour of A. Who is to the immediate right of A?

The correct answer is

D

Five people A, B, C, D and E sit around a circle facing the centre, and for anyone facing inward 'to the right' means moving clockwise.

Fix D at a reference seat and read 'B is second to the right of D', so counting two seats clockwise from D places B.

Next, 'A is second to the right of B' means counting two seats clockwise from B fixes A's seat.

With D, B and A placed, only two adjacent seats remain, and they belong to C and E.

The condition 'C is not an immediate neighbour of A' forces C into the seat away from A, so E takes the seat next to A.

Reading the completed circle, the seat immediately clockwise (to the right) of A is occupied by D.

Hence the person to the immediate right of A is D.
