In a circle facing the centre, if B is to the immediate right of A, then from A's own point of view B is
Correct answer: A. on A's right hand side
- A. on A's right hand side
- B. on A's left hand side
- C. directly opposite A
- D. impossible to place
Explanation
When people face the centre, right and left are described from each person's own perspective, so immediate right means B is on A's right hand. The trap appears when the puzzle says facing outwards, which reverses every direction. Always note which way the group faces before placing anyone.

About Seating Arrangements
Seating arrangement problems place people or objects in a line, circle, row or multiple rows according to positional clues. They require handling adjacency, left and right, facing directions, opposite seats, fixed positions and relative order, with circular arrangements differing because rotation does not create a new arrangement.
