Question

Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. A is adjacent to B and F. C is adjacent to B and D. E is adjacent to D and F. Who is sitting directly opposite to B?

• A. A
• B. C
• C. E
• D. D

Hint:

Chain the neighbours into one ring, then count three seats from B.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: List the adjacencies.
A touches B and F; C touches B and D; E touches D and F.
Step 2: Build the ring.
Starting at A: A is next to B, B is next to C, C is next to D, D is next to E, E is next to F, and F closes back to A. The seating cycle is A-B-C-D-E-F.
Step 3: Find the opposite.
In a six-seat circle, the person opposite is three seats away. From B, three seats along give E, so E is opposite B.
