G, H, I, J, M, N and O are sitting around a circular table facing the centre of the table. O sits fourth to the left of J. I sits fourth to the right of N. Only two people sit between J and N when counted from the left of J. M is not an immediate neighbour of I or J. G is not an immediate neighbour of M. Who sits third to the right of H?3639

Explanation

• The final clockwise arrangement is determined by placing each person according to the given rules: J, H, M, N, O, G, I.
• H is positioned between J and M.
• The question asks for the person third to the right of H.
• Since the individuals are facing the center, 'right' corresponds to a counter-clockwise movement.
• Counting three positions counter-clockwise from H, we land on G (H -> J -> I -> G).

Why Other Options Were Wrong

• Option B: O is not third to the right of H. In the final arrangement, O is the third person to the left (clockwise) of H.
• Option C: I is not third to the right of H. I is the second person to the right (counter-clockwise) of H.
• Option D: M is not third to the right of H. M is immediately to the left (clockwise) of H.

Related Visual

Clinical Relevance

• Nursing practice connection: This is primarily an exam-oriented knowledge point with limited direct bedside application, so retain Logical Reasoning: Circular Seating Arrangement as background academic context rather than a clinical decision trigger.
• This question type assesses logical reasoning and spatial visualization skills.
• While not a direct clinical task, these problem-solving abilities are crucial for nurses in prioritizing care, managing complex patient assignments, and thinking critically under pressure.
• What if the question asked who sits between J and M? The answer would be H, as H is the only person positioned between them in the final arrangement.

How to Approach the Question

• Draw a circle with the specified number of spots (in this case, 7).
• Start with the most definitive statement. Place J at a fixed position to act as an anchor.
• Use the relative positions to place others (e.g., 'O is fourth to the left of J'). Remember, 'left' is clockwise and 'right' is counter-clockwise when facing the center.
• Use the negative constraints ('is not an immediate neighbour') to eliminate possibilities and deduce the correct positions for the remaining people.
• Once the entire arrangement is finalized, carefully read the question and locate the answer based on your diagram.
