None of these
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- We know the seating arrangement is around a square. 4 are at the corners (facing center) and 4 are at the sides (facing outside).
- C sits second to the left of W.
- Three people are between C and X. This means either 2 persons between them going clockwise or anticlockwise.
- D is not facing outside, so D is at a corner.
- X and A sit immediately to the right of each other.
- W is not adjacent to A.
- B is opposite Y and not adjacent to C.
- Y and Z are not adjacent.
Now, let's verify the options:
1. C Z: Not possible as Y is opposite B and cannot be adjacent to C.
2. D A: Not correct as A should not be adjacently situated with W.
3. D C: Possible. Y could be opposite B, and adjacent to D and C.
4. B W: Y is not adjacent to B as they are opposite.
Therefore, adjacents to Y are D and C.
