Ten people A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, and J sit at two rectangular tables X and Y. Three of them like horror novels, three like thriller novels and the remaining like romance novels. Four people sit at table X and the remaining sit at table Y. The person sitting in the middle faces outside the center and the person sitting in the corner faces inside the center. People sitting at table X sit in the middle of table Y; four persons sit in the middle and four sit in the corner. Two seats are vacant at table Y. D sits at table X. J does not sit at table Y. G sits immediately left of J and neither of them likes thrillers. The one who likes romance does not sit in the middle of table Y. D likes romance and sits opposite G. E likes romance and sits at table Y. Both the immediate neighbors of E like thrillers. A sits immediately left of the one who likes thrillers. F sits third to the right of A. C sits at table X. B does not like thrillers or romance. Two persons sit between D and the one who likes thrillers. I sits 2nd to the right of a vacant seat. Vacant seats are not adjacent to each other. One of the persons who likes horror sits immediately right of the one who likes romance. After the arrangement: I. J and H change their novels. II. F and G change their novels. III. D changes his novel with the one who sits immediately left of A. IV. B and E change their place but not the novels. Note: The final arrangement is obtained after the I, III, and IV changes are done. Who are the immediate neighbors of J?
- E and H
- G and D
- A and B
- C and F
Correct answer: G and D
Solution
The initial arrangement places J at table X with G immediately to one side and D on the other side after the specified swaps are applied. Since only the listed exchanges are performed, J's adjacent persons in the final arrangement remain determined by the original table structure and the swap effects. Thus, the immediate neighbors of J are G and D.
