Reveal answer & explanation
Correct answer: A) E
Explanation
Facing the centre, left is clockwise. Place B at seat 0 (seats numbered clockwise 0 to 4). A, second to the left of B, is at seat 2. C, immediate right of B, is at seat 4. Seats 1 and 3 remain; seat 3 is next to C, so D is at 1 and E at 3. The immediate left (clockwise) of A at seat 2 is seat 3, i.e. E.
