15. Five friends, A, B, C, D, and E, are sitting around a circular table facing the center. A is sitting to the immediate right of B. C is sitting to the immediate left of D. E is not sitting next to A. Who is sitting to the immediate right of C?

A

B

D

E

A is to the immediate right of B.

C is to the immediate left of D.

E is not next to A.

Let's analyze the possible seating arrangements:

If we place A and B together, with A to B's right, and then place C and D together, with C to D's left, there are two remaining spots for E. However, both of these spots are next to A, violating condition 3.

Therefore, we must split up either A and B or C and D. Let's try splitting A and B. If we place C and D together, with C to D's left, and then place E, there's only one spot left for E that is not next to A. This leaves the final spot for A and B together, with A to B's right.

This gives us the final arrangement:

D, C, E, A, B

Therefore, E is sitting to the immediate right of C.

A is to the immediate right of B.

C is to the immediate left of D.

E is not next to A.

The pattern in the given sequence is that each number is obtained by adding 2 to the square of its position in the sequence. For example, the first number is 0 which is obtained by adding 2 to the square of 1 (1^2 + 2 = 0). The second number is 2 which is obtained by adding 2 to the square of 2 (2^2 + 2 = 2). Following this pattern, the missing number should be obtained by adding 2 to the square of its position, which is 5. Therefore, the missing number is 24 (5^2 + 2 = 24).
