Explanation:

Let’s break this down step by step and see what’s actually happening:

- Eight people around the table, all facing the center.

- A sits second to the left of B (so imagine B, skip one seat, then A).

- Only two between A and H (moving clockwise or counterclockwise depending on your initial placement—keep adjusting as you lay out the rest).

- G sits third to the right of H (so from H, count three seats clockwise to G).

- E is immediately left of G (so G, E, in that order clockwise).

- D sits second to the left of C (same logic, C, skip one seat, then D).

- F sits third to the right of C (from C, three seats clockwise to F).

Working through the seating arrangement using these clues, it turns out:

- Option 1: B sits third left of D — That’s true.

- Option 2: B is an immediate neighbor of F — Also true.

- Option 3: B faces G — Not correct; the positions you work out show B and G are not directly opposite.

- Option 4: Both (a) and (b) — Yes, both are true.

- Option 5: Both (a) and (c) — Only (a) is true here.

The correct answer is Option 4: Both (a) and (b).

Here's what really happens:

- B is third to the left of D.

- B sits right next to F.

- B does not face G.

If you sketch this out, it makes a neat circle. Answer 4 lines up with all the clues and is spot-on.
