i. D is between G and A, and is facing B.
ii. F is between A and H, and H is third to the right of D.
iii. E is second to the left of G.

SSC MTS 20th October 2021 Shift-2
Explanation:
Let’s break down what those clues are telling us:
- D is between G and A, facing B. That means if D is sitting somewhere, G and A are on either side of D, and B is directly opposite.
- F is between A and H, and H is third to the right of D. So after D, count three seats to the right, you find H. F sits between A and H.
- E is second to the left of G, so counting two seats leftward from G, you’ll land on E.
When you piece this all together and seat everyone according to the clues, here’s who ends up immediately to the left of C:
- The people sitting right next to C, specifically to C’s left, are A, H, and F.
So the correct answer is:
Option 1: AHF
Here’s why the others don’t fit:
- Option 2 (ADF): D can’t be immediately left of C by the arrangement.
- Option 3 (BFH): B isn’t next to C.
- Option 4 (EBH): E and B don’t sit next to C; this isn’t possible with the given clues.
In short, when you sort everyone out around the table, A, H, and F are C’s immediate left neighbors. Option 1 is what you’re looking for.
