Answer / guest

From the given data, it can be inferred that:

(Sally & Bob) NOT (Betty & Jim) NOT (Alice & Tom) NOT
(Gertrude & Bill)

(A) NOT (B) means A and B can not seat next to each other.

Now, it is obvious that (Betty & Jim) and (Alice & Tom) will
occupy the corner seats as both of them can have only one
neighbour. Therefore,

(Gertrude & Bill) will seat next to (Betty & Jim)

(Sally & Bob) will seat next to (Gertrude & Bill)

(Alice & Tom) will seat next to (Sally & Bob)

Thus, there are two possible arrangements - a mirror images
of each other.

1. (Betty & Jim) - (Gertrude & Bill) - (Sally & Bob) -
(Alice & Tom)

2. (Alice & Tom) - (Sally & Bob) - (Gertrude & Bill) -
(Betty & Jim)
