Question

Four males $M_1, M_2, M_3, M_4$ and four females $F_1, F_2, F_3$ and $F_4$ are sitting around a round table facing away from the table, as shown in the figure. If each one moves three positions to his/her right and then one position to the left, then in which direction does $F_4$ face?

The correct answer is
North-East

The problem involves determining the final position of a person after they move according to specific instructions around a circular arrangement. Given the initial positions, each person moves three positions to their right and then one position to their left. We need to determine the final direction in which $F_4$ faces.

Initially, the seating arrangement around the circular table is as follows:

Let's define the positions in the circle based on compass directions where $N$ is top, $E$ is right, $S$ is bottom, and $W$ is left.

  1. $F_4$ starts at the position facing West ($W$).
  2. Each person moves three positions to their right:
    • From $W$ (1st move) -> $N$ (2nd move) -> $E$ (3rd move) -> $S$
  3. Then each person moves one position to their left:
    • From $S$, move one position left -> ends facing North-East ($NE$)

Thus, after the described movements, $F_4$ faces North-East.

Therefore, the correct answer is North-East.

  1. Read the directions carefully and give the answer from the given options. 

    P, Q, R, S, T, K, L, M and N are sitting around a circle facing the centre. 

    K is $4^{th}$ to the right of P and P is $3^{rd}$ to the right of Q. 

    N is $4^{th}$ to the left of Q and $3^{rd}$ to the right of S. 

    R is $2^{nd}$ to the right of M and M is the immediate neighbour of P. 

    T is $2^{nd}$ to the left of L. 

    Who is to the immediate left of K?

  2. Seven boxes, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are kept one over the other but not necessarily in the same order. Only A is kept above F. Only D is kept between F and C. Only E is kept below B. How many boxes are kept below C?

  3. P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a row, facing north. No one sits to the left of U. Only four people sit between U and R. Only three people sit to the right of V. P sits to the immediate left of S. Q is not an immediate neighbour of V. How many people sit between P and T?

  4. Six people, B, C, D, I, J and K, are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Only two people sit between B and I when counted from the right of I. K sits to the immediate left of J. I sits to the immediate right of C. Who among the following are the immediate neighbours of D?

  5. Each of P, Q, R, S, T, U and V has an exam on a different day of the week starting on Monday and ending on Sunday of the same week. V has an exam on Friday.
