Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around circular table. A and B are facing towards the centre while the other six people are facing opposite the centre. A is sitting second to the right of H. D sits third to the left of A. D sits second to the right of G. G is neither immediate neighbor of B nor E. E and F are immediate neighbors and are facing outside.
Who is sitting second to the left of G?

Question

Eight people A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around circular table. A and B are facing towards the centre while the other six people are facing opposite the centre. A is sitting second to the right of H. D sits third to the left of A. D sits second to the right of G. G is neither immediate neighbor of B nor E.

Circular Table Arrangement Logic Eight people (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H) are seated around a circular table. Facing Directions: A and B face the center. The other six (C, D, E, F, G, H) face opposite the center. Objective: Determine who sits second to the left of G. Step-by-Step Placement Relative Positions: We use the clues to find relative placements. Assume clockwise order for positions 1-8. A faces center (Left=CCW, Right=CW). C, D, E, F, G, H face opposite (Left=CW, Right=CCW). Clue 1 & 2 Setup: "A is sitting second to the right of H." (H faces opposite, so H's Right=CCW). "D sits third to the left of A." (A faces center, so A's Left=CCW). Clue 3 Setup: "D sits second to the right of G." (G faces opposite, so G's Right=CCW). Deduction & Placement: Let's place A at position 6. A(6, Center). D is 3rd left (CCW) => D(3, Opposite). D(3, Opposite) is 2nd right (CCW) of G => G(5, Opposite). A(6, Center) is 2nd right (CCW) of H => H(8, Opposite). Current clockwise arrangement: P1, P2, D(3), P4, G(5), A(6), P7, H(8). Clue 4 & 5: "G is neither immediate neighbor of B nor E." G(5)'s neighbors are P4 and A(6). Thus, B and E cannot be at P4. "E and F are immediate neighbors and are facing outside." (Opposite). Finalizing Positions: Remaining seats for B, C, E, F are P1, P2, P4, P7. E & F must be neighbors, so they take P1 and P2. Since B cannot be at P4, C must be at P4. This leaves B for P7. Final Clockwise Arrangement: E/F(1), F/E(2), D(3), C(4), G(5), A(6), B(7), H(8). Determining the Answer Locate G: G is at position 5. G's Facing Direction: G faces opposite the center. Identify Left Direction: For someone facing opposite, their left is towards the Clockwise direction. Find the Seat: G's left is the next seat clockwise (P6 = A). G's second left is the seat two positions clockwise (P7 = B).
