Alex faces Jim. John sits to the right of Jane. Tom sits between Sam and Jim. Pat sits at the extreme left and Jane sits at the extreme right along the long side of the table. Sid faces Tom. Matt sits to the right of Sam.

Who is sitting two places left to Jane?
Show Hint
- Pat
- Alex
- Sid
- Sam
The Correct Option is C
Solution and Explanation
Instead of counting one seat at a time, number Jane's row from the left end and subtract directly.
- Pat: Pat is at the extreme left of the row, seat number 1. Jane is seat number 4, so Pat is three places left of Jane, not two.
- Alex: Alex is seat number 3, only one place left of Jane, so this is one seat too close.
- Sid: Sid is seat number 2. Jane's seat number (4) minus 2 gives seat number 2, which is exactly Sid's position, so Sid sits two places left of Jane.
- Sam: Sam is not even on Jane's row, so this option does not fit the question at all.
Numbering the row from left to right and subtracting two from Jane's position confirms Sid is the answer.
