Which of the following is true with respect to the given seating arrangement?
Answer: E
Correct answer: B is mother of H.
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.
B is H’s mother, which is what places D, H’s brother, on her immediate left. The others fail: E is D’s daughter and C is G’s child, so they are not cousins; H and her husband A sit five seats apart; C’s neighbour B is female; and three seats to H’s left is her husband A, not a daughter.
