In a circular arrangement of 6 people, if A faces B directly across, how many people sit between them on each side?
A1
B0
C3
D2
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: D. 2
1. A circular table with 6 seats has each person 'directly facing' the seat opposite (3 seats away).
2. So between A and B on either arc, there are 6/2 - 1 = 2 people.
3. Both arcs have 2 people each.
4. So 2 people sit between them on each side.
