    Seven friends, Manashvi, Prince, Pratham, Trushil, Mahima, Prishiv and Naitik are sitting around a circular table with their backs towards the centre. Manashvi is sitting to the immediate right of Prince. Naitik and Prishiv are not sitting to the immediate left or right of Trushil. Trushil is sitting third to the left of Prince. Mahima is sitting to the immediate right of Trushil. Who is sitting third to the right of Prince?

    1. ANaitik
    2. BPratham
    3. CMahima
    4. DPrishiv
    Answer and explanation

    Correct answer: B

    With backs to the centre, right means clockwise and left anticlockwise. Fixing Prince and placing Manashvi to his right, Trushil third to his left, and Mahima to Trushil's right leaves the immediate left of Trushil open; since Naitik and Prishiv are barred from sitting beside Trushil, that seat must be Pratham. That seat is exactly third to the right of Prince.
