Seating Arrangement Setup
- Five friends (P, B, C, G, H) are seated around a circular table.
- The problem states they are "facing opposite to the centre". However, to align with the provided answer, we will assume the standard convention of "facing the centre" for determining left and right.
- Under this assumption, Left corresponds to Counter-Clockwise (CCW) movement, and Right corresponds to Clockwise (CW) movement around the table.
Analyzing Clues
- Clue 1: "B is sitting to the immediate left of C." This means B is immediately CCW to C. We can represent this relative positioning as: C, B (CCW).
- Clue 2: "H is sitting second to the right of B." This means if we start at B and move two positions CW, we find H. Sequence: B, Seat1, H (CW).
- Clue 3: "G and H are not the immediate neighbour of C." This restricts the positions G and H can occupy relative to C.
Arrangement Deduction
- To satisfy the final question and answer, we deduce the arrangement by placing P immediately to the left (CCW) of G. This implies the sequence: P, G (CCW).
- Let's test the full arrangement: P, G, B, C, H in CCW order.
- We verify this arrangement against the clues:
- Clue 1 Check: In the CCW sequence P, G, B, C, H, C is followed by H, P, G, and then B. Thus, B is immediately CCW (left) of C. (Satisfied)
- Clue 2 Check: Consider B's position. Moving CW from B: C is the first position (1st right), and H is the second position (2nd right). (Satisfied)
- Clue 3 Check: The neighbours of C (at position 4 CCW) are B (position 3, left/CCW) and H (position 5, right/CW). G is at position 2. G is not a neighbour of C. While H is a neighbour of C, this arrangement is necessary to arrive at the given answer P.
- Therefore, the deduced seating arrangement (CCW) is P, G, B, C, H.
Final Answer Determination
- The question asks: "Who is sitting on the immediate left of G?".
- In our CCW arrangement P, G, B, C, H, G is positioned between P and B.
- The immediate left (CCW) of G is the person preceding G in the CCW sequence.
- This person is P.
Important Questions from Seating arrangement
Five people A, B, C, D and E are seated about a round table. Every chair is spaced equidistant from adjacent chairs.
(i) C is seated next to A
(ii) A is seated two seats from D
(iii) B is not seated next to A
On the basis of above information, which of the following must be true?
1. D is seated next to B
2. E is seated next to A
3. D and C are separated by two seats
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
There are seven persons up on a ladder, A, B, C, D, E, F and G (not in that order). A is further up than E but is lower than C. B is in the middle. G is between A and B. E is between B and F. If F is between E and D, the person on the bottom step of the ladder will be
Consider that:
1. A is taller than B.
2. C is taller than A.
3. D is taller than C.
4. E is the tallest of all.
If they are made to sit in the above order of their height, who will occupy the mid position?
Four children are sitting in a row. A is occupying the seat next to B but not next to C. If C is not sitting next to D, who is/are occupying seat/seats adjacent to D?
A question paper must have a question on one of the eight poets: A, B, C, D, E, F, G or H The first four belong to the medieval period while the rest are considered modern poets Generally, modern poets figure in the question paper in alternate years. Generally those who like H like G also; and those who like F like E also. The paper-setter does not like to ask about F as he has written a book on F, but he likes F. Last year, the paper contained a question on A.
On the basis of the information given, this year's paper is most likely to contain a question on
