    Question

    Study the following information carefully and answer the below questions   Eight persons – A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in the square table such that all of them are facing towards the center. Four persons are sitting in the middle of the sides of the table and four persons are sitting at the corner of the table. All the information is not necessarily in the same order.   A sits second to the left of G, who sits at one of the corner of the table. H sits either to the immediate right or to the immediate left of A. D sits opposite to the one who sits second to the left of C. C sits in the middle of the sides of table. D is neither the immediate neighbor of G nor A. E is the immediate neighbor of either of A or F, but not the both. B  sits second to the left of F.

    If all the persons are arranged in alphabetical order in the 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

    A sits second to the left of G, who sits at one of the corner of the table. H sits either to the immediate right or to the immediate left of A. From the above condition, there are two possibilities. D sits opposite to the one who sits second to the left of C. C sits in the middle of the sides of table. D is neither the immediate neighbor of G nor A E is the immediate neighbor of either of A or F, but not the both. B sits second to the left of F. From the above condition, case1 gets eliminated.  Case 2 shows the final arrangement.
