i) There are 9 friends A , B , C , D , E , F , G , H seated in a circle facing the centre. ii) AC , DG , HE and FB are seated adjacent to each other. A is also seated adjacent to H . iii) B is 2^ nd to the right of H . iv) E is 3^ rd to the right of C . What is C's position with reference to E?

Step-by-step solution

To solve this circular arrangement, we first identify the fixed chain formed by the constraints: - A's Neighbors: Since (A ) is adjacent to both (C ) and (H ), the sequence is (C-A-H ). - Placing B & E: (B ) is (2^ nd ) to the right of (H ), and (E ) is (3^ rd ) to the right of (C ). This forces (E ) between (H ) and (B ), resulting in: (C-A-H-E-B ). - Adjacency: (F ) must sit next to (B(C-A-H-E-B-F) ). The remaining 3 seats belong to (D, G ) (adjacent), and an unknown 9th person. 1. (2^ nd ) to left of A: This sea
