Deriving the Seating Arrangement
Seven people (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are seated around a circular table facing the centre. We determine their positions based on the given clues:
- Clue 1: E sits second to the left of A. Let's place A at a reference point. Moving counter-clockwise (left), the second position is E.
- Clue 2: G sits third to the right of E. Moving clockwise (right) from E, the third position is G.
- Clue 3: G sits second to the left of C. This means C is two positions clockwise from G. Combining this with Clue 2 places C relative to G.
Let's visualize the arrangement clockwise (positions 1 to 7):
- Place A at position 1.
- From Clue 1, E is second left of A, placing E at position 6. Arrangement: `_ _ _ _ _ E A`
- From Clue 2, G is third right of E (pos 6). Moving right: 7, 1, 2. So, G is at position 2. Arrangement: `_ G _ _ _ E A`
- From Clue 3, G (pos 2) is second left of C. This implies C is at position 4. Arrangement: `_ G _ C _ E A`
- Clue 4: F sits third to the left of B. The remaining seats are 3, 5, and 7. The remaining people are B, D, and F. If we place B at position 3, third left (counter-clockwise) leads to position 7 (3 -> 2 -> 1 -> 7). Thus, F is at position 7. The final arrangement is A(1), G(2), B(3), C(4), D(5), E(6), F(7) clockwise.
The arrangement clockwise is: A, G, B, C, D, E, F.
Calculating People Between C and A
The question asks for the number of people between C and A when counting from the left of C.
- C is at position 4. A is at position 1.
- Counting from the left (counter-clockwise) of C: The sequence is C -> Position 3 -> Position 2 -> Position 1 (A).
- The positions between C (4) and A (1) when moving left are position 3 and position 2.
- The people at these positions are B and G.
- Therefore, there are Two people between C and A when counted from the left of C.
