Question 1

Six persons C, F, A, B, E and D are sitting around a circular table facing the center. C sits second to the left of F. A sits opposite to C. B sits immediately to the right of A. D is not adjacent to B. Who sits opposite to F?
Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw circular diagram
6 persons facing center. Opposite positions are 3 seats apart.
Number positions 1–6 clockwise.

Step 2: Place definite positions
- Fix C at position 1 (reference point)
- C is second to the LEFT of F → F is 2 clockwise from C
pos[F] = 3
- A sits OPPOSITE C (pos 1) → pos 4
- B sits immediately to the right of A (pos 4) → pos 5

Step 3: Resolve remaining positions
Remaining persons: D, E → remaining seats: [2, 6]
D is NOT adjacent to B (pos 5).
Adjacent to pos 5: pos 4 and pos 6.
Therefore D → pos 2, and E → pos 6.

Final Arrangement (clockwise):
pos1:C → pos2:D → pos3:F → pos4:A → pos5:B → pos6:E
(All facing center)

Opposite pairs: pos1↔pos4, pos2↔pos5, pos3↔pos6

F is at pos 3 → opposite = pos 6 = E

Answer: E sits opposite to F.
