Suppose they are facing north. From clue (), since A is second to the right of E, who
is at one of the extreme ends; hence E is at the extreme left. Hence, E is at the first place
while A is at the third place. Again, from clue (), since. J is the immediate neighbor of A
and B, therefore J cannot be at the immediate left of A because in that case B will have no
place to sit. Hence, J is at no 4, B is at no. 5 and G is at no.7. Thus we get the following
order of their sitting arrangements
E A J B G .... (1)
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
Again, from clues () and () we get the following order of sitting of I, C, H, D and F:
