Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Step 1: "E sits immediately to the left of B."
Arrangement so far: E, B
Step 2: "A sits second to the right of E."
Since B is immediately to the right of E, A must be to the immediate right of B.
Arrangement so far: E, B, A
Step 3: "B and F have exactly two persons between them."
Counting two spaces to the right of B gives us the position for F.
Arrangement so far: E, B, A, _, F
Step 4: "D sits immediately to the left of F."
Place D in the empty space right before F.
Arrangement so far: E, B, A, D, F
Step 5: "C is the immediate neighbor of F."
Since D is already on the left of F, C must sit on the immediate right of F.
Final Arrangement: E, B, A, D, F, C
Step 6: Count the persons between B and C. They are A, D, and F (Total = 3).
Final Answer: Option C
