Solution
Looking at the given constraints for 7 people sitting around a circular table:
Given constraints:
- E is second to the right of F
- F is sitting on the immediate right of C
- A & D are the only persons sitting between G & E
Let's establish the arrangement using positions 1-7 going clockwise.
From "F is immediate right of C":
Position 1: C
Position 2: F
From "E is second to right of F" (one person between F and E):
Position 4: E
From "A & D are the only persons between G & E", exactly 2 people sit between G and E in one direction.
Testing if G is at position 7:
Going counterclockwise from G(7) to E(4): positions 7→6→5→4
This gives 2 positions (5 and 6) between G and E, which must be A and D.
Therefore:
- Position 1: C
- Position 2: F
- Position 3: B (only person remaining)
- Position 4: E
- Position 5: A or D
- Position 6: D or A
- Position 7: G
Checking statement (A): B is third to the right of G
G is at position 7. Going right: 7→1→2→3
Position 3 is B. Statement (A) is TRUE.
Checking statement (B): C is immediate right of G
G is at position 7. Immediate right is position 1.
Position 1 is C. Statement (B) is TRUE.
Checking statement (C): D is immediate right of B
B is at position 3. Immediate right is position 4.
Position 4 is E, not D. Statement (C) is FALSE.
Checking statement (D): G is second to the left of F
F is at position 2. Going left: 2→1→7
Position 7 is G. Statement (D) is TRUE.
Statements (A), (B), and (D) are true.
Therefore, the correct answer is Option 2.
