This problem involves a roundtable seating arrangement puzzle. We need to determine the exact positions of J, A, G, E, V, and F based on the given clues to find who is sitting to the left of E.

Arrangement Logic

There are 6 people sitting around a table facing the centre. Let's denote the seats 1 to 6 clockwise.

1. G opposite A: Place G at Seat 1. A must be at Seat 4 (opposite).
2. F immediate left of G: Since they face the centre, 'left' is clockwise. F sits immediately clockwise to G. So, F is at Seat 2.
3. V between A and J: A is at Seat 4. Its neighbours are Seat 3 and Seat 5. V must be adjacent to both A and J. This means the sequence must be ...A, V, J... or ...J, V, A.... Since A is at Seat 4, V could be at Seat 3 or Seat 5.
   • If V is at Seat 3, J must be adjacent to V at Seat 2 or Seat 4. Seat 2 is occupied by F, and Seat 4 by A. This is not possible.
   • If V is at Seat 5, J must be adjacent to V at Seat 4 or Seat 6. Seat 4 is occupied by A. So, J must be at Seat 6.
4. Placement of E: The arrangement so far is: Seat 1(G), Seat 2(F), Seat 3(?), Seat 4(A), Seat 5(V), Seat 6(J). The only person left is E, who must be in Seat 3.

Final Seating Order

The final arrangement in clockwise order is: G, F, E, A, V, J.

(Note: Numbers in parentheses indicate seat number clockwise, starting with G at 1)

Determining Who is Left of E

E is sitting at Seat 3.

Facing the centre, the person to E's immediate left is the person in the next clockwise seat.

The seat clockwise to E (Seat 3) is Seat 4.

A is sitting at Seat 4.

Therefore, A is to the left of E.

Correct Answer Check: The derived arrangement confirms that A is to the left of E, matching the provided correct answer option.
