💡 Analysis & Explanation

Decoding the Seating Rules ▼

Seven people face the center. Let's trace their positions clockwise from 1 to 7. Assign I to position 1.

Placing B, A, and G ▼

B is third to the left of I, landing on position 4 (clockwise is left). Since I is strictly between A and G, they must take positions 2 and 7.

Fixing Remaining Positions ▼

G is second to the left of H. Placing G at 7 means H is at 5, allowing A to be at 2. The empty spots are 3 and 6. Because C cannot be adjacent to B(4), C is placed at 6. D naturally occupies the final slot at 3. The clockwise order is: I, A, D, B, H, C, G.

Counting the Gap ▼

We are asked to count from the 'right of D'. Facing the center, right is the anti-clockwise direction. Moving anti-clockwise from D(3) to G(7), we pass through positions 2(A) and 1(I).

Conclusion ▼

There are exactly two people (A and I) between D and G.
