Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Step 1: Draw a circle with 6 spots. Since everyone faces the center, 'Left' is clockwise and 'Right' is anti-clockwise.
Step 2: Place C. Since A is second to the left of C, place A two spots clockwise from C.
Step 3: D and B sit opposite each other. The only available opposite spots are between C and A.
Step 4: F is to the immediate right (anti-clockwise) of B. To make this possible, place B such that its immediate right spot is empty. Place F there, and put D opposite B.
Step 5: Only one spot remains, which is for E.
Final Clockwise Order: C, D, A, F, B, E.
Step 6: Looking at E, the first person to the right (anti-clockwise) is B, and the second to the right is F.
Final Answer: Option D
