What is the position of A with respect to his mother-in-law?
Answer: D
Correct answer: Second to the right
All eight face the centre, so each person’s left is the next seat clockwise and their right the next seat anticlockwise.
The family sorts itself out first. A is the father of G and F, and H is his wife - so H’s husband is A. D is H’s brother, B is H’s mother, E is D’s daughter, and C is G’s child. Then B sits two to A’s left, D immediately to B’s left, and since B may have no female beside her, the remaining male, C, takes the seat on her other side. F is two seats from A, E two to F’s right, and of the last two seats G must take the one away from E.
Clockwise the circle reads A → C → B → D → E → H → F → G, with A, C and D the three men.
A’s mother-in-law is B, the mother of his wife H. Counting two seats to B’s right - anticlockwise - gives C and then A, so A sits second to her right.
