This question was previously asked in
RRB ALP 2018 CBT 2 Fitter Question Paper (21-Jan-2019) (Shift 3)
The correct answer is
A is between D and C

Round Table Arrangement Logic

This problem involves determining the seating positions based on given constraints.

1. Deduce the Seating Order

Constraint 1: 'D is to the right of C'. Assuming 'right' means immediate right in the clockwise direction, the order starts: C, D.

Constraint 2: 'C does not want to sit next to B'. This implies B cannot be in the seat immediately to C's left.

With 4 people (A, B, C, D) around a round table, the arrangement must accommodate these rules. Placing C and D leaves two spots. Since B cannot be next to C, B must be opposite D, meaning B is the third person clockwise after C. A fills the final spot.

The final clockwise seating arrangement is: C, D, B, A.

2. Evaluate Each Statement

Let's check the truthfulness of each option based on the arrangement C, D, B, A:

  • Option 1: B is to the right of D. TRUE. In the sequence C, D, B, A, B is immediately clockwise (to the right) of D.
  • Option 2: B is between A and D. TRUE. The sequence D, B, A shows B is situated between D and A.
  • Option 3: A is facing D. FALSE. In a 4-person round table setup, opposite pairs face each other. In the arrangement C, D, B, A, A is opposite B, and D is opposite C. Therefore, A faces B, not D.
  • Option 4: A is between D and C. FALSE. In the determined clockwise sequence C, D, B, A, A is situated between B and C.

3. Identify the False Statement

The question requires identifying the statement that is FALSE. Based on our analysis, the statement 'A is between D and C' is false.
