Question
A is facing North. B is seated second to the right of A. Who is sitting immediately to the left of B?
- A. The person seated to the immediate right of A
- B. The person seated opposite to A
- C. The person seated to the immediate left of A
- D. Cannot be determined (Correct answer)
Correct Answer
Option D — Cannot be determined
Detailed Solution & Explanation
The correct answer is Cannot be determined.
Key Points
- We are told only that A faces North and B sits second to the right of A. Nothing fixes the total number of people or the shape of the seating, so the person immediately to B's left is not pinned down.
- A data-sufficiency reflex helps: if the arrangement's size and layout aren't given, positions relative to a specific seat usually cannot be fixed — 'cannot be determined' is then the honest answer, not a guess among the named people.
