Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below. Eight persons viz. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table facing the centre but not necessarily in the same order. Both D and G are immediate neighbors. E sits third to the right of D and second to the left of C. The number of persons sitting between C and G is the same as the number of persons sitting between E and A. One person sits between H and F, who sits to the immediate left of A.

    If all the persons are made to sit in alphabetical

    order in a clockwise direction with respect to A, then how many persons remain unchanged in their position (excluding A)?
    A One Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B Two Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C Three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D More than three Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E None Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    Both D and G are immediate neighbors. E sits third to the right of D and second to the left of C. The number of persons sitting between C and G is the same as the number of persons sitting between E and A. One person sits between H and F, who sits to the immediate left of A. Hence, case 1 gets eliminated.
