Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a rectangular table in such a way that four persons sit on each of the four corners of the table and other four persons sit on the middle side of each side. The one who sits at the corner of the table faces outside the center of the table and the one who sits at the middle side of the table faces towards the center of the table. Persons sitting on opposite sides are exactly opposite to each other.

F sits at one of the middle sides of the table. Two persons sit between F and E. Only one person sits between F and C. E does not sit near to C. Either A sits 2nd to the left of H or 2nd right of H. One person sits between A and C. B and G sit opposite to each other. D sits 2nd to the left of B. G doesn’t sit next to F.

Who among the following sits 3rd to the right of D?

Question

Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a rectangular table in such a way that four persons sit on each of the four corners of the table and other four persons sit on the middle side of each side. The one who sits at the corner of the table faces outside the center of the table and the one who sits at the middle side of the table faces towards the center of the table. Persons sitting on opposite sides are exactly opposite to each other.

F sits at one of the middle sides of the table. Two persons sit between F and E. Only one person sits between F and C. E does not sit near to C. Either A sits 2nd to the left of H or 2nd right of H. One person sits between A and C. B and G sit opposite to each other. D sits 2nd to the left of B. G doesn’t sit next to F.

Who among the following sits 3rd to the right of D?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. There are 8 persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H sitting around a rectangular table.
2. Four persons sit at the corners facing outside, and four persons sit at the middle of each side facing the center.
3. Persons sitting opposite each other are exactly opposite.
4. F sits at a middle side.
5. Two persons sit between F and E.
6. Only one person sits between F and C.
7. E does not sit near C.
8. Either A sits 2nd to the left of H or 2nd to the right of H.
9. One person sits between A and C.
10. B and G sit opposite each other.
11. D sits 2nd to the left of B.
12. G does not sit next to F.

**Step-by-step arrangement:**

- Since F is at a middle side, label the middle sides as M1, M2, M3, M4 and corners as C1, C2, C3, C4.
- Place F at M1.

- Two persons sit between F and E, so E is at M3 (opposite side of F) because only opposite middle sides have two persons between them.

- Only one person sits between F and C. So C can be at C2 or C4 (corners adjacent to F's side).

- E does not sit near C, so if E is at M3, C cannot be adjacent to M3 (which are C3 and C4). So C must be at C2.

- One person sits between A and C. Since C is at C2, A can be at M2 or M4.

- Either A sits 2nd to the left or 2nd to the right of H.

- B and G sit opposite each other.

- D sits 2nd to the left of B.

- G does not sit next to F.

**Assign positions:**

- F at M1
- E at M3 (opposite F)
- C at C2 (corner adjacent to M1)
- A at M2 (one person between A and C: between C2 and M2 is M1, which is F)

- Now, A sits 2nd to left or right of H.

- Let's try A 2nd to the left of H:
  - If A is at M2, then H is at C4 (since from C4, 2nd to left is M2).

- B and G opposite each other. Remaining seats are C1, C3, M4.

- G does not sit next to F (F at M1), so G cannot be at C1 or M4 (both adjacent to M1).

- So G must be at C3.

- B opposite G is at C1.

- D sits 2nd to the left of B:
  - B at C1, 2nd to left of B is M4 (since corners face outside, left moves clockwise for corner seats).

- So D is at M4.

**Final seating:**

- M1: F
- C1: B
- M2: A
- C2: C
- M3: E
- C3: G
- M4: D
- C4: H

**Find who sits 3rd to the right of D:**

- D is at M4 (middle side facing center).
- For middle side seats facing center, right is clockwise.
- Counting 3rd to the right of D:
  - 1st right: C3 (G)
  - 2nd right: M3 (E)
  - 3rd right: C4 (H)

**Answer:** H
