In a circular arrangement of 4 people—A, B, C, and D—A is sitting 2nd to the right of B. C is sitting 3rd to the left of A. D is sitting exactly opposite C. What is the position of B relative to D?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Assuming all four people are facing the centre of the circle:
• Step 1: In a 4-person circle, being 2nd to the right/left means sitting directly opposite. Since A is 2nd to the right of B, A is opposite B.
• Step 2: C is 3rd to the left of A. Moving 3 places clockwise (left) from A brings us to the seat immediate right of A.
• Step 3: D is sitting exactly opposite C.
Arranging them in clockwise order around the table: A → D → B → C.
Since D faces the centre, moving clockwise is to D's left. Therefore, B is to the immediate left of D.
Correct Option: (A)
