Choose the correct answer from the options given below

Solution

✅ Correct Option: 2

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.
