But why couldn't they be seated in any way at all?? I Mean, what difference does it make ABCDE vs BCADE; there are no restrictions on the problem, are there??

You probably missed this: "If they ate 3 Apples,4 Grapes,8 Oranges,and 6 Bananas. Find their arrengement around the table".

There is only one arrangement that will result in the quantities of eaten fruit specified in the OP.

Anton ate apples 3 apples were eaten; so he couldn't eat 5. he also couldn't eat 5 grapes. If Bert sat next to him, then nobody couldn't eat apples; which David did eat apples.

Anton's right hand man is Cesar.

One apple gone, Dave ate two apples.

Dave's right hand man is Bert.

Edward could eat 4 apples or 4 grapes; and we know Cesar wasn't on his right.

Edward's right hand man is David.

Now all this fell into place. 3 men on one side of the table and two men on the other side of the table. The table is round. Going clockwise it is A-B-D-E-C.
