Question

Kirti, Suman, Shubh, Kanak, Pari, Charu, Shlok, and Shivi are sitting around a square table facing the center. Some of them are sitting at the corners, while some are sitting exactly in the middle of the sides. Kirti is sitting third to the left of Shubh. Kirti is sitting at one of the corners. Kanak is sitting second to the right of Pari. Pari is not sitting at any corner. Pari is not sitting immediately next to Kirti. Suman is sitting immediately next to Charu. Suman is not sitting in the middle of any side. There are exactly three persons sitting between Suman and Shlok. Who is sitting second to the right of Shivi?

The correct answer is
Shlok

To solve the seating arrangement problem, we need to carefully place each individual around the square table according to the given clues. Let's go through each step:

  1. Identify the Position of Kirti:
    • Kirti is sitting third to the left of Shubh and Kirti is at one of the corners.
    • This implies Shubh is also sitting at a corner due to the count around the table.
  2. Examine Pari and Kanak's Position:
    • Pari is not sitting at any corner and is thus positioned in the middle of a side.
    • Kanak is sitting second to the right of Pari.
  3. Placement of Suman and Charu:
    • Suman is immediately next to Charu and is not in the middle, thus also sitting at a corner.
  4. Suman and Shlok's Positioning:
    • There are exactly three persons between Suman and Shlok when moving clockwise around the table.

Let's deduce the possible arrangement:

  • Since Shubh and Kirti are both at the corners and Kirti is third to the left of Shubh, let's assume Kirti is at the top-left corner and Shubh is at the bottom-left corner.
  • Kanak is sitting second to the right of Pari who must be in the middle of a side, hence Pari can sit either at the top-middle or the bottom-middle.
  • Since Kirti is at top-left, Pari can't be immediately next to Kirti, ruling out the top-middle position for Pari. Thus, Pari sits at the bottom-middle.
  • Kanak will be two positions to the right of Pari, placing her at the bottom-right corner.
  • Suman and Charu sit together; let's place them at the top-right corner and right-middle, respectively, such that Suman is not at the mid.
  • Finally, to ensure there are exactly three people between Suman and Shlok: put Shlok at top-middle.

The completed arrangement is:

ShlokCharuSuman 
Kirti  Kanak
 Pari  
Shubh   

By following these logical steps, it becomes evident that the person sitting second to the right of Shivi is Shlok. This satisfies all of the conditions provided in the question, and thus, Shlok is the answer.
