Discussion
Which of the following is the correct position of B with respect to H?
I. Second to the right
II. Fourth to the right
III. Fourth to the left
IV. Second to the left
Answer: D
Correct answer: Both II & III
Facing the centre, each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise. Fix C, put F three seats to C’s right, and H two seats to F’s right. G, A and E then fit in only one way, since A is two to G’s right and E immediately to A’s right; and of the last two seats D must take the one that touches neither C nor H. Clockwise the circle reads C → E → A → H → G → F → D → B.
Counting four seats to H’s right lands on B; so does counting four to H’s left - in a circle of eight, four steps either way reach the same seat, the one directly opposite. So II and III are both correct, while two seats away in either direction gives G or A.
