Question

What is the position of P with respect to his grandchild?

• A. Immediate right
• B. Third to the right
• C. Third to the left
• D. Fourth to the right

Hint:

When positions are fixed, always answer relative-position queries from the reference person's viewpoint (here, from $R$ to $P$) and remember "to the right" is clockwise for inward-facing circles.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

Step 1: Number the seats \(1\) to \(8\) clockwise around the circle: \(P=1,\ Y=2,\ X=3,\ Z=4,\ W=5,\ S=6,\ Q=7,\ R=8\).

Step 2: Since \(Y\) is \(P\)'s daughter and \(R\) is \(Y\)'s child, \(R\) is \(P\)'s grandchild, sitting at seat \(8\).

Step 3: Moving one seat clockwise (to the right) from seat \(8\) wraps to seat \(1\), which is \(P\).
\[ \boxed{\text{Immediate right}} \]
