Eight persons K, L, M, N, O, P, Q and R are sitting clockwise around a circular table, facing the centre at equal distances between them in the same order. If K is sitting in the east, then in which direction is P sitting?
North-west
Setup: Eight people sit clockwise around a circular table in the order K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, facing the centre.
Step 1 - Angular spacing: With eight equally spaced seats, adjacent persons are 360 degrees / 8 = 45 degrees apart.
Step 2 - Anchor K: K faces the East direction (90 degrees). Moving clockwise, each next person is 45 degrees further.
Step 3 - Compute directions:
- K: East (90 degrees)
- L: South-East (135 degrees)
- M: South (180 degrees)
- N: South-West (225 degrees)
- O: West (270 degrees)
- P: North-West (315 degrees)
- Q: North (360 degrees)
- R: North-East (45 degrees)
Hence P sits in the North-West direction.
