PUZZLE
(SET-50)
There are ten friends (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I and J) sitting around the pentagonal table. Five of them are sitting at the corner and remaining five are sitting at the edge of the table. This table is circumscribed by another pentagonal table which has only five seats which are present at the corner. Both these tables are circumscribed by the circular table which also has only five seats. We number the sitting positions from 1 to 20 as shown in the figure towards the end of the question. All seats are arranged facing the centre. Each of the persons always faces towards the centre regardless of the change in their positions)
All ten friends start playing a game in which each person throws a dice only once and one by one. Then they change their positions according to the number appearing on the
dice. Dice is biased, so, number 1 does not appear on it. If number 2 appears on the dice then the person will sit second to the right of the seat which is just behind him. If number 3 appears on the dice then the person will sit on the seat which is to the immediate left of the seat which is just behind him. If number 4 appears on the dice then he will sit on the seat which is just behind the seat which is currently to the immediate right of him. If number 5 appears on the dice then the person will sit on the seat which is just behind him. If number 6 appears on the dice then the person will sit just behind the seat which is currently third to the left of him. C and I are sitting three and four places away from A respectively before throwing the dice. Numbers 6 and 4 appear when C and I throw the dice respectively. E and I are immediate neighbors before and after shifting their seats. B is sitting second to the right of E before throwing dice. F is sitting to the immediate left of A before and after shifting their seats.Number 2 and 6 when E and F through the dice respectively.H and G are immediate neighbors of C before throwing the dice none among H,G or C is initally sitting just in front of the final position of F.C is initally sitting just in front of the final position of H.The difference between the numbers appearing on the dice,when thrown by G and H,is one.G will sit on the circular table after shifting his position. D will be a immediate neighbor of C after shifting.Number 6 appears when J throw the dice.
