Question

Six friends Alex, Brad, Charlie, David, Eric, and Frank are sitting around a circular table facing away from the center. Alex is sitting to the immediate right of Brad. Frank sits exactly between Charlie and David. Charlie sits to the immediate right of Eric. Who sits to the immediate right of David?

The correct answer is
Brad

To solve this problem, we need to arrange the six friends: Alex, Brad, Charlie, David, Eric, and Frank around a circular table following the given conditions.

  1. Since Alex is sitting to the immediate right of Brad, we place Alex next to Brad in a clockwise direction.
  2. Charlie sits to the immediate right of Eric, so we place Charlie next to Eric in a clockwise direction.
  3. Frank sits exactly between Charlie and David, so Frank must be positioned between Charlie and David.

Let's summarize in detail:

  1. Position Brad and Alex such that Alex is to the immediate right of Brad.
  2. Now, we position Eric and Charlie such that Charlie is to the immediate right of Eric.
  3. We place Frank exactly between Charlie and David. This means if we move clockwise from Charlie or counter-clockwise from David, we encounter Frank first.

With these placements, the table arrangement can be visualized as follows:

Position1 (Brad)2 (Alex)3 (Eric)4 (Charlie)5 (Frank)6 (David)

In this arrangement, who sits to the immediate right of David?

Position 1 is Brad, who is immediately to the right of David when considering the circular setup, as they are facing away from the center.

Thus, the person sitting to the immediate right of David is Brad.
