Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting in a straight line facing North.

I) E is third to the left of G, who is sitting at one of the corners (According to this statement G is sitting at the right corner because E is sitting left side of G).

II) F is sitting between D and G.

III) H is third to the left of C (This statement implies that H is at the corner).

IV) B is sitting between H and A.

According to the arrangement, C is sitting between A and E.

Hence, the correct answer is "C".

2. 

In a circle seating arrangement facing center Pis 3rd to the right of Q (WHILE / WHOM / WHO) is 2nd to the left of R.
