E. Who is sitting on the immediate right of D?
Circular Arrangement Logic
We need to determine the seating arrangement of five people (A, B, C, D, E) around a circular table facing the center, based on the given clues.
Applying the Clues
- Clue 1: B is sitting second to the left of E.
- Clue 2: A is sitting second to the right of E.
Assume E is at a specific position. Since they are facing the center, 'left' is counter-clockwise and 'right' is clockwise.
From Clue 2, if we move two positions clockwise from E, we find A. Let's denote positions clockwise: E, _, A, _, _.
From Clue 1, if we move two positions counter-clockwise from E, we find B. This places B second to the right of A (or third to the left of A). The arrangement clockwise is now: E, _, A, B, _.
Deducing Remaining Positions
The remaining people are C and D. The remaining seats are the one between E and A, and the one between B and E.
Clue 3: C is not an immediate neighbor of D and A.
Consider the seat between E and A. If C sat there, C would be an immediate neighbor of A. This violates Clue 3.
Therefore, C cannot be in the seat between E and A. C must occupy the seat between B and E.
This leaves D to sit in the seat between E and A.
Final Arrangement and Answer
The final arrangement clockwise is: E, D, A, B, C.
We need to find who is sitting on the immediate right of D.
In the arrangement E, D, A, B, C (clockwise), the person immediately to the right (clockwise) of D is A.
Thus, A is sitting on the immediate right of D.
Important Questions from Circular Arrangement
Eight students A, B, C, D, E, F, G and Hsit around a circular table, equidistant from each other, facing the centre of the table, not necessarily in the same order.
