D, E, F, G, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre of the table. F sits third to the left of K. Only one person sits between K and D when counted from the left of D. Only two people sit between L and E when counted from the right of E. G is an immediate neighbour of L.
Who sits third to the right of M?

RRB ALP 2025 CBT 2 Wiremen Question Paper (28-Jul-2026) (Shift 2)
The correct answer is
F

To determine who sits third to the right of M, we need to arrange the given people around the circular table based on the information provided. Let's analyze the given conditions step by step:

  1. Condition 1: F sits third to the left of K.
    • Assume K sits at position 1. Therefore, F will sit at position 4 (since counting left in a clockwise direction results in F being three positions away).
  2. Condition 2: Only one person sits between K and D when counted from the left of D.
    • If D is at position 2, then K will be at position 4 with only one person between them, fulfilling the condition from the left of D. Therefore, position 3 would be filled by someone else.
    • If D is at position 7, and F occupies position 4, then K would be at position 6, making one of the configurations a valid one.
  3. Condition 3: Only two people sit between L and E when counted from the right of E.
    • If E sits at position 5, then counting two positions to the right, L will be at position 8 or 2, invalidating the formation as they would not sit between two people.
    • If E is at position 6 and L is as previously mentioned at position 2, this condition is satisfied as there are two people between them.
  4. Condition 4: G is an immediate neighbour of L.
    • If we take position 7 or 8, G should sit next to L at position 2, making position 3 suitable for G.
  5. Now let’s deduce M’s position. The available positions unoccupied by L, E, G, F, D, K are respectively: 5.
    • Therefore, M occupies position 5.
    • Calculating the third person to the right: starting from M (position 5), it would go to position 6 (one to the right), position 7 (second), then position 1 (third).

The third person to the right of M is therefore F. Thus, the solution aligns with option F provided in the options.
