Eight people sit around a circular table facing center. A is opposite B, C is on A's right. Who is on B's left?
AD
BE
CC
DA
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: C. C
1. Circle of 8, facing center: 'right' of A is the seat clockwise from A's perspective (facing center).
2. A and B opposite means they sit 4 seats apart.
3. C is on A's right (immediate clockwise of A when facing center).
4. On the opposite side, the seat immediately left of B (facing center) is on the SAME line going clockwise around as A's right side; so it is C.
