Show answer & explanation

Correct answer: B

Key idea: When everyone faces the centre, a person's left is the clockwise direction and a person's right is the counterclockwise direction.

  • Place Vineeta at any seat as a reference point.

  • Pooja sits to the left of Vineeta, so Pooja is the next seat clockwise from Vineeta.

  • Reeti is fourth to the right of Pooja. Right means counterclockwise, so count four seats counterclockwise from Pooja to locate Reeti. (With six people, moving four counterclockwise is the same as moving two clockwise.)

  • That seat ends up directly opposite Vineeta (three seats away), so Vineeta sits opposite Reeti.

Answer: Vineeta
