- DFour
Correct answer
A. One
Step-by-step solution
To determine the number of people between and the person in Operations when counting from the right of A, we use the established circular arrangement:
- Fixed Positions and Directions: A (Investment Banking) sits facing the centre.
- Seating Chain: From A's right (counter-clockwise), the sequence is (\mathbf{A} \rightarrow \mathbf{F}) (Operations) (\rightarrow \mathbf{D}) (Corporate Finance) (\rightarrow \mathbf{E}) (Sales) (\rightarrow \mathbf{C} \rightarrow \mathbf{B}) (Finance) (\rightarrow \mathbf{G}) (Marketing).
- Result: Starting from A and moving right, only G (Marketing) sits between A and F.
Answer: (A) One
