Jack, Kelly, Lan, Mihai, and Nate are sitting in the 5 chairs around a circular table. Lan and Mihai are sitting beside each other. Jack and Kelly are not sitting beside each other. The 2 people who are seated on either side of Nate are
(A) Jack and Lan
(D) Lan and Mihai
(B) Jack and Kelly
(E) Mihai and Jack
(C) Kelly and Mihai
Since Lan and Mihai are seated beside each other, while Jack and Kelly are not, the only possible location for the remaining chair (Nate's chair) is between Jack and Kelly, as shown. Therefore, the 2 people who are seated on either side of Nate are Jack and Kelly.
