Question

Eight persons E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L are seated around a square table two on each side. There are three lady members and they are not seated next to each other. J is between L and F. G is between I and F. H, a lady member, is second to the left of J. F, a male member is seated opposite E, a lady member. There is a lady member between F and I. Who among the following are the three lady members?

The correct answer is

 E, H and G

To determine which three persons are the lady members, let's follow the clues given in the problem step-by-step:

  1. J is between L and F. This forms one part of the seating arrangement where L, J, and F are consecutive.
  2. G is between I and F. This forms another part with I, G, and F in sequence. Notice F appears in both sequences, indicating some overlap.
  3. H, a lady member, is second to the left of J. If we use the first sequence (L, J, F), this means H can sit either to the left of L (in a clockwise manner around the table), or in adjacent positions accounting for direction.
  4. F, a male member, is seated opposite E, confirming E as a lady member. Since there's a lady member between F and I, this adds one more potential lady.

From these clues, we deduce the following arrangement:

  • E is opposite F.
  • Sitting order involves L, J, F with appropriate placement for H and G.
  • H, a lady member, can only fit a certain way, given she mustn't sit next to other female members.

Now, let's interpret who the three lady members are:

  • E is identified as a lady from clue 5.
  • H is confirmed as a lady specifically.
  • From the arrangement and given no ladies can sit together, the remaining option logically implies G fits as a lady without contradiction.

Thus, the three lady members confirmed based on the seating logic are E, H, and G.
