This question is based on the following information.
Six friends – A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table as per the following conditions. F is sitting to the left of A. B is sitting between C and E and is opposite to A. E is sitting to the right of D.
If E interchanges his place with the person sitting opposite to B, then who sits to the right of F?
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
• Assume all six friends are sitting facing the center.
• Let A be at position 1.
• F is to the left of A → F is at position 2 (clockwise).
• B is opposite to A → B is at position 4.
• B sits between C and E, and E is to the right of D:
• If D is at position 6, the person to the right of D is at position 5, which must be E.
• Consequently, C is at position 3.
Initial arrangement (clockwise): A (1) → F (2) → C (3) → B (4) → E (5) → D (6)
Interchange:
• The person opposite to B is A.
• E interchanges places with A:
• Position 1 becomes E.
• Position 5 becomes A.
Now, to the right of F (at position 2) sits the person at position 1, who is E.
Since 'E' is not given in options (A), (B), or (C), the correct choice is None of these.
