Circular Seating Arrangement Analysis
We need to determine the seating arrangement based on the given clues and find who is second to the right of D.
Step 1: Placing B and A
Let's denote the six positions around the round table as 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 clockwise.
- 'A is second to the left of B.' If we place B at position 1, facing the center, the person to the immediate left is at position 6, and the second person to the left is at position 5.
- Therefore, if B is at seat 1, A is at seat 5.
Step 2: Placing E and F
- 'B is a neighbour of E and F.' The neighbours of B (at seat 1) are the seats at positions 2 and 6.
- So, E and F must occupy seats 2 and 6 (in any order).
Step 3: Placing D
- 'D is not a neighbour of A or B.'
- A is at seat 5. Neighbours of A are seats 4 and 6.
- B is at seat 1. Neighbours of B are seats 2 and 6.
- D cannot be in seats 2, 4, or 6.
- The occupied seats are 1 (B) and 5 (A). Seats 2 and 6 are taken by E and F.
- The remaining available seats are 3 and 4.
- Since D cannot be a neighbour of A (seat 5), D cannot be in seat 4.
- Therefore, D must be in seat 3.
Step 4: Placing C and Final Arrangement
- The only remaining person is C, and the only remaining seat is 4.
- The arrangement (clockwise) could be B, E/F, D, C, A, F/E. Let's verify with B, E, D, C, A, F:
- B(1), E(2), D(3), C(4), A(5), F(6)
- D(3) neighbours are E(2) and C(4). D is not neighbour of A(5) or B(1). (Constraint met)
- A(5) is second left of B(1). (Constraint met)
- B(1) neighbours are E(2) and F(6). (Constraint met)
- The arrangement is consistent with all conditions.
Step 5: Finding the Person Second to the Right of D
- D is at seat 3.
- The person to the immediate right (clockwise) of D is at seat 4, which is C.
- The person second to the right of D is at seat 5, which is A.
Therefore, A is the second to the right of D.
