i) There are 9 friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H seated in a circle...

To find who is (2^{\text {nd }}) to the right of A, we follow the fixed constraints from the provided information: 1. A's Neighbors: Since $A$ is adjacent to both $C$ and $H$, the sequence is $C-A-H$. 2. Directional Movement: Moving to the right from $A$, the (1^{\text {st }}) person is $H$. 3. The (2^{\text {nd }}) Position: The rule states $B$ is (2^{\text {nd }}) to the right of $H$, and $E$ is (3^{\text {rd }}) to the right of $C$ . This forces $E$ to sit exactly 1 seat to the right of $H$ (which is 2 seats to the right of $A$). Final Answer: (B) E
