P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre. S is not the neighbour of R and T. P is neighbour of Q and R. V who is second to the left of S, is the neighbour of T and U. Which of the following is definitely Not correct?
To solve this seating arrangement puzzle, let's place each person one by one around the circular table based on the given conditions and verify the correct and incorrect statements.
Step-by-step Placement:
- V is second to the left of S, and V is a neighbor of T and U.
- P is a neighbor of Q and R.
- S is not a neighbor of R and T.
Let's start placing around the circle:
- Assume S is at position 1. Thus, V is at position 3 (second to the left of S).
- V must be a neighbor of T and U. Based on initial assumptions, place T at position 4 and U at position 2.
- S cannot be a neighbor of R and T, therefore, R cannot be placed at positions 2 and 4 (positions adjacent to S).
- P, Q, and R must be placed such that P is a neighbor of Q and R. Let's try placing P next to Q and R.
Arranging them, we get:
- Position 1: S
- Position 2: U
- Position 3: V
- Position 4: T
- Position 5: P
- Position 6: Q
- Position 7: R
Verification:
- Q is to the immediate left of S: Q is at position 6, S is at position 1. They are not neighbors, so this statement is not correct.
- T is to the second left of U: U is at position 2, and T is at position 4, which means T is indeed two positions left from U (in terms of clockwise order), so this is correct.
- P is to the immediate right of Q: Q is at position 6, and P is at position 5. These are consecutive placements (clockwise), verifying this statement as correct.
- U is between S and V: U is at position 2, S is at position 1, and V is at position 3. This means U is indeed between S and V, which makes this statement correct.
Conclusion: The statement "Q is to the immediate left of S" is definitely not correct.
Important Questions from Seating Arrangement (Notes)
- Five friends are sitting on a bench in the following order :
(i) P is sitting next to Q and R is next to S.
(ii) S is not sitting with T; T is on the extreme left hand side of the bench and R is on second position from the right hand side.
(iii) P is on the right hand side of Q and to the right side of T. (iv) P and R sitting together
Who is sitting exactly in the middle ? Seven people, C, D, E, F, L, M and N, are sitting in a row, facing north.
Only two people sit to the right of C. Only two people sit between C and L. Only two people sit between E and N. N sits to the immediate left of C. M sits to the immediate right of F. Who sits at the third position from the left end of the row?- Seven people, A, B, C, D, E, F and G, are sitting in a row, facing north. Only three people sit between E and D. A sits to the immediate left of D. No one sits to the right of B. Only two people sit between B and A. G sits to the immediate right of F. How many people sit to the right of F?
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?
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?
