Who is sitting third to the right of the person sitting immediately left of X ........

Direction: Read the given information carefully and answer the questions asked below.

Eight people A, B, C, D, W, Y, X, and Z are sitting around a square table in such a way that four of them sit at four corners of the square while four sit in the middle of each of the four sides. People who are sitting in the middle are facing outside the center while people sitting at the corner are facing the center. C sits second to the left of W. Three people are sitting between C and X. D is not facing outside. X and A are sitting immediately right to each other. W is not sitting adjacent to A. B is not sitting adjacent to C. B is sitting opposite to Y. Y and Z are not sitting adjacent to each other.

None of the above

Explanation:

Let’s break this down stepwise:

- 8 people, square table, some at corners (facing in), some at sides (facing out).

- C sits second to the left of W.

- If W is at a corner, count two seats counterclockwise for C.

- Three between C and X.

- So C _ X with 3 between.

- D is not facing outside.

- D is at a corner (since only corners face inside).

- X and A are immediately to the right of each other.

- So arrangement is ... X, A ... or ... A, X ...

- W isn’t next to A.

- B isn’t next to C.

- B is opposite Y.

- Across the table.

- Y and Z aren’t adjacent.

Now let’s figure out the sequence:

- Place W at one corner.

- C is second to the left of W. If W is top left, and everyone at corners faces center, “second to left” goes counterclockwise, so C will be a middle seat on the left side.

- Three between C and X, so count three more seats.

- X and A next to each other, one immediately right to the other.

- B opposite Y.

- From deduction and trial (drawing helps!), the final correct setup puts:

- Corners: W, Y, D, B

- Middles: C (left middle, facing out), Z, A, X

When you find “person immediately left of X,” you find C (as per seating arrangement).

Counting third to the right of C, considering the person faces OUT (so their right is different from table rotation), you land at Z.

Now, the options:

1. Z

2. Y

3. W
