Which of the following statements is true?**  
(a) G sits in the corner of Table X.  
(b) E sits immediate left of the one who likes horror novels.  
(c) B likes romance novels.  
(d) I sits immediate right of F.  
(e) F sits in the middle of Table Y.

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

Let's analyze the problem step-by-step to find the correct statement.

**Given:**
- 10 persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J
- Two rectangular tables: X and Y
- Table X has 4 persons, Table Y has 6 persons (with 2 vacant seats)
- Preferences: 3 horror, 3 thriller, 4 romance
- Persons at Table X sit in the middle; Table Y has 4 middle seats and 4 corner seats
- Person in middle faces outside the center; person in corner faces inside the center

**Step 1: Table X and Y assignments**
- D sits in Table X
- J does not sit in Table Y
- G sits immediate left of J, neither like thriller
- C sits in Table X
- E likes romance and sits in Table Y
- B does not like thriller and romance

Since Table X has 4 persons, and D, C, J, G are mentioned with J and G together, and D and C in X, likely Table X = {D, C, J, G}

**Step 2: Preferences and seating**
- D likes romance and sits opposite G
- Both immediate neighbors of E like thriller
- More than 3 seats between persons who like thriller
- A sits immediate left of one who likes thriller
- F sits third to the left of A
- Two persons sit between D and J
- Two persons sit between D and one who likes thriller
- Thriller persons do not sit in corner
- I sits 2nd to left of a vacant seat
- Vacant seats are not adjacent
- One who likes horror sits immediate right of one who likes romance in Table Y
- A does not like horror

**Step 3: Analyze options**

(a) G sits in corner of Table X
- Table X has only middle seats (given), so no corner seats in Table X
- So, (a) is false

(b) E sits immediate left of one who likes horror novels
- E is in Table Y
- One who likes horror sits immediate right of one who likes romance in Table Y
- E likes romance
- So, the one who likes horror sits immediate right of E
- Therefore, E sits immediate left of one who likes horror
- So, (b) is true

(c) B likes romance novels
- B does not like thriller and romance (given)
- So, B cannot like romance
- (c) is false

(d) I sits immediate right of F
- No direct information supports this
- I sits 2nd to left of a vacant seat
- No info about I immediate right of F
- So, (d) is false

(e) F sits in middle of Table Y
- Persons who like romance do not sit in middle of Table Y
- F's preference is not romance (not given directly), but since A sits immediate left of thriller, and F sits third to left of A, and thriller persons do not sit in corner, F likely not in middle
- No direct confirmation
- So, (e) likely false

**Answer:** (b) E sits immediate left of the one who likes horror novels.
