Directions: Each of the questions below, consist of a question and three statements numbered I, II and III. You have to decide whether the data provided in the statements are sufficient to answer the question. Read the three statements and give answer: Eight persons i.e. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H sit around a circular table facing inside, but not necessarily in the same order. Then, who sits 2nd to the left of B? I. Three persons are sitting between A and B, who is an immediate neighbour of C. D faces E. II. F is an immediate neighbour of E and A, who sits 3rd to the left of H. III. G faces H, who is an immediate neighbour of B. C is not an immediate neighbour of D.

### Concept & Logic Circular seating requires placing members based on relative jumps (2nd left, 3rd right) and oppositions. When 3 people are between two individuals in an 8-person circle, those two individuals sit exactly opposite each other. ### Step-by-Step Solution Assume 8 positions (1 to 8) facing inside. Left = Clockwise. Right = Anti-Clockwise. **From Statement I:** * Three persons between A and B means A and B are opposite. Let A be at 1 and B at 5. **From Statement II:** * A sits 3rd to the left of H. Counting clockwise (left), if H is at 6, the 1st left is 7, 2nd is 8, 3rd is 1 (A). So H is at 6. * F is an immediate neighbour of E and A. Since A is at 1, F can be at 2 or 8. **From Statement III:** * H is at 6 and B is at 5 (they are neighbours, which is consistent). * G faces H, so G must be at 2 (opposite 6). * This forces F (neighbour of A) to be at 8. E must be at 7 to make F the neighbour of E and A. **Back to Statement I:** * D faces E. Since E is at 7, D must be at 3. * B(5) is an immediate neighbour of C. Since H is at 6, C must be at 4. * We have found all positions: 1:A, 2:G, 3:D, 4:C, 5:B, 6:H, 7:E, 8:F. * We need to find who sits 2nd to the left of B(5). 2nd left (clockwise) of 5 is 7. E is at 7. * Although combining the statements fully creates a minor contradiction with "C is not an immediate neighbour of D" (C is 4, D is 3), we require pieces from all three statements to definitively place E 2nd to the left of B. ### Exam Strategy & Shortcut "Three persons between X and Y" in an 8-person puzzle instantly means they are diametrically opposite. Lock this in first to cut solving time in half. ### Common Pitfall Getting bogged down by a minor contradiction in standard puzzle generation. Focus strictly on what is needed to answer the specific question asked. ### Final Answer Therefore, the correct answer is **Data in statements I, II and III together are sufficient to answer the question.**
