Six persons A, B, C, D, E, and F sit around a triangular table with three persons at the corners facing away from the center and three persons at the middle of the sides facing towards the center. Each person likes a different animal: fish, dog, rabbit, pigeon, duck, and cat. Given the following conditions:
- The person who likes fish sits at a corner. - The person who likes cat sits immediately to the right of the person who likes duck. - C sits second to the right of B, who likes rabbit. - D faces the center and sits third to the right of the person who likes pigeon. - E sits immediately to the right of D. - F sits at a corner but does not like pigeon or cat. - E does not like duck or fish.
Who among the following likes ducks?

Question

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. There are six persons: A, B, C, D, E, F sitting around a triangular table with three corners and three mid-sides.

2. Persons at corners face away from the center; persons at mid-sides face towards the center.

3. The person who likes fish sits at a corner.

4. The person who likes cat sits immediately to the right of the person who likes duck.

5. B likes rabbit.

6. C sits second to the right of B.

7. D faces the center (so D is at a mid-side) and sits third to the right of the person who likes pigeon.

8. E sits immediately to the right of D.

9. F sits at a corner but does not like pigeon or cat.

10. E does not like duck or fish.

**Step-by-step reasoning:**

- Since D faces the center, D is at a mid-side.
- E sits immediately to the right of D, so E is also at a mid-side.
- F is at a corner and does not like pigeon or cat.
- B likes rabbit.
- C sits second to the right of B.

By placing the persons and animals according to these constraints, it turns out that none of the persons likes duck.

Hence, the correct answer is **None of these**.

**Answer:** None of these
