of B

and second to the right of A. So, forming a circle we have:

H A

G D

B

C is between A and G. But E is not opposite B. So, C is between A

and H.

C

H A

F E

G D

B

Answer for 12th question is (c) , F is third to the left of D.

Answer for 13th question is (d), Clearly, E is not sitting between F
