Question

D, E, F, G, I, J and K are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table.
G is the immediate neighbour of both D and J. J sits third to the left of I. K sits to the immediate left of I. F is not an immediate neighbour of J.
Who sits third to the left of E?

The correct answer is
D

To solve this seating arrangement problem, we need to determine the positions of the individuals around the circular table based on the given clues. Let's go step-by-step through the information provided:

  1. G is the immediate neighbour of both D and J.

This implies G is positioned between D and J.

  1. J sits third to the left of I.

If I's position is fixed, J has to be exactly three seats to I's left:

  • Positions: I, X, X, J
  1. K sits to the immediate left of I.

This gives us the following positioning around I:

  • Positions: K, I, X, J
  1. F is not an immediate neighbour of J.

F cannot occupy any seats next to J.

Based on the above clues, the most logical arrangement ensuring all conditions are met is:

  • D, G, J, X, K, I, F

Where X represents E, as F can't sit next to J, thus leaving E to fill the vacant seat next to F and J.

Now, to answer the question, Who sits third to the left of E?, we rearrange the individuals around the table:

  • Starting from E and counting three positions to the left:
  • We reach: D

Thus, the person sitting third to the left of E is D.
