Eight persons- A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around the square table. Four friends are sitting at the corner of the table facing inside the centre while the four persons are sitting in the middle side of the table facing outside the centre. The persons sitting at the middle side of the table like different fruits viz., Mango, Banana, Kiwi and Grapes. While the persons sitting at the corner of the table like different flowers viz., Rose, Lily, Tulip and Coronation.
Two persons sit between C and G.
D, who likes Kiwi, sits adjacent to C.
The one who likes Lily sits immediate left of A.
Neither C nor F likes Lily.
Only one person sits between A and B.
Thus, Case 1 and Case 4 get cancelled.
Two persons sit between F and the one who likes Mango.
Neither B nor G likes Mango.
Neither C nor F likes Lily.
The one who likes Rose sits opposite to H.
H does not likes Lily flower.
F like neither Rose nor Tulip.
Thus, Case 2 and Case 2a get cancelled.
F like neither Rose nor Tulip.
The one who likes Tulip sits third to the right of the one who likes Grapes.
Thus, Case 2a(i) gets cancelled.
Now, F must like Coronation flower and G must like Banana fruit.
This is the final arrangement.
I. B sits opposite to the one who likes Banana.
II. F likes the Coronation flower.
III. The one who sits immediate left of A sits immediate right of B.
IV. H sits adjacent to the one who likes Mango fruit.
All these statements are true.
