Q
Q: Five friends are sitting in a circle. A is to the immediate right of B and to the immediate left of C. D is sitting opposite to A. Who is sitting next to D?
Solution: Since A is between B and C, and D is opposite A, C is next to D.
Steps: 8
Step 1: Visualize the five friends sitting in a circle.
Step 2: Place friend B anywhere in the circle.
Step 3: Since A is to the immediate right of B, place A to the right of B.
Step 4: A is also to the immediate left of C, so place C to the right of A.
Step 5: Now we have B, A, and C in that order in the circle.
Step 6: D is sitting opposite to A, so find the position directly across from A and place D there.
Step 7: Now look at the arrangement: B, A, C, and D. The only friend left is E, who must be next to D.
Step 8: Since D is opposite A, and A is between B and C, C is next to D.
