Detailed Solution
Download Solution PDFNames of persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H.
Face direction: Corner – inside, edge/side – outside
1) B does not sit on the edge of the square table.
2) B and D are sitting opposite to each other.
3) A sits on one of the corners.
4) A and H are to the immediate right of each other.
(Here we have two cases, Case 1: when A is second to right of B, and Case 2: when A is second to the left of B).
5) H sits third to the left of C.
6) H is not near to B.
(Here we can eliminate case 2 as H is near to B in case 2).
7) E and G are sitting opposite to each other.
8) No two consecutive alphabets are sitting next to each other.
(So, E will be to the immediate right of B and G will be to the immediate right of D. F will sit on the immediate left of B).
So, the final arrangement of persons around the square table will be as follows:
Hence, four persons are sitting between D and F when counted from the left of D.
