Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:
Eight persons- A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H sit around a square table such that four Persons face inside and sit middle of the table. Four faces outside and sit corner of the table. G sits second left of C. Three person sits between D and B. H sits opposite A but does not sit at the middle of the table. D sits 2nd left of A. F sits second to the right of C. E sits immediate right of B.

G
- B.
C
- C.
F
- D.
A
- E.
None of these
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
Around a square table with mixed facing, the four corner seats face outward and the four side-middle seats face the centre. The words "left" and "right" are taken from each seated person's own viewpoint, so an outward-facing person's left and right are mirror images of an inward-facing person's. Any "immediate right" can be read off reliably only after the whole circle has been fixed from the clues.
Building the layout
Set the alternating seat pattern: corner, side-middle, corner, side-middle, all the way round; corners face outward and middles face the centre.
Place C, then use "G is second to the left of C" and "F is second to the right of C" to fix G and F on either side of C.
Use "D is second to the left of A" to tie D to A, and "H sits opposite A and is not at a side-middle" to force H onto the corner directly across from A.
Apply "three persons sit between D and B" (a gap of four seats) together with "E is immediate right of B" to seat B and E.
The clues lock into one consistent circle: in order around the table the seats hold A (corner), G (middle), B (corner), E (middle), H (corner), F (middle), D (corner), C (middle).
Result
D sits on a corner and faces outward. Looking to D's own right, the very next seat holds C, so C is the person immediately to D's right; the seat on D's own left holds F.
Cross-check
Re-reading every clue against this circle: G is two seats to C's left, F is two to C's right, D is two to A's left, E is just right of B, H is opposite A on a corner, and exactly three people lie on each arc between D and B. Every clue holds, confirming that C sits to D's immediate right.
