Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions…

In a circular seating arrangement where all members face the centre, a position described as being to a person's right is reached by moving one step counter-clockwise around the circle, while a position to their left is reached by moving one step clockwise. Every clue of the form 'X is n-th to the left/right of Y' therefore fixes X's position relative to Y by n steps in the corresponding rotational direction; chaining these clues around a fixed circular order (here, 9 seats) pins down every person's seat uniquely.

1. Fix C at a reference seat (seat 0) to anchor the arrangement.

2. G is second to the right of C (2 steps counter-clockwise from C), so G sits at seat 7.

3. B is fourth to the left of G (4 steps clockwise from G), so B sits at seat 2.

4. F is fourth to the right of C (4 steps counter-clockwise from C), so F sits at seat 5.

5. F is second to the left of K, so K is 2 steps counter-clockwise from F, placing K at seat 3.

6. A is fourth to the right of K (4 steps counter-clockwise from K), so A sits at seat 8.

7. The three unfilled seats (1, 4, 6) belong to D, E and H. H is third to the right of E means E must be 3 steps clockwise from H among the empty seats: only E at seat 4 and H at seat 1 fits, leaving D at seat 6.

8. Check: D at seat 6 is not adjacent to K (seat 3, neighbours seats 2 and 4) nor to B (seat 2, neighbours seats 1 and 3) — the 'D is not an immediate neighbour of K or B' condition holds, confirming this placement.

9. The clockwise seating order is therefore: K, E, F, D, G, A, C, H, B (repeating).

10. Counting four seats to the left (clockwise) of E: F, D, G, A — the fourth seat reached is A.

Cross-check: counting four seats to the right (counter-clockwise) from A returns to E, confirming the two positions are correctly paired in both directions.

Therefore, A is fourth to the left of E.
