Rashmi, Sunita, Mona and Sakshi are sitting around a square table. Rashmi is to the right of Sunita. Mona is to the left of Sakshi. Which of the persons mentioned in the options is sitting opposite to each other?
Understanding the Seating Arrangement Puzzle
We are given a scenario where four people - Rashmi, Sunita, Mona, and Sakshi - are sitting around a square table. We have specific clues about their positions relative to each other. The goal is to determine which pair of people is sitting directly opposite one another.
The given conditions are:
- Rashmi is to the right of Sunita.
- Mona is to the left of Sakshi.
Step-by-Step Deduction of the Arrangement
Let's use the clues to figure out the seating arrangement at the square table. A square table with four people means there is one person on each side.
- Let's start by placing one person. Suppose Sunita is seated at the bottom side of the square table.
- The first clue says Rashmi is to the right of Sunita. If Sunita is at the bottom and facing inwards, her right would be the seat on the left side of the table. So, Rashmi is on the left side.
- Now, the bottom and left seats are occupied by Sunita and Rashmi, respectively. The remaining two seats are the top and right sides. These must be for Mona and Sakshi.
- The second clue says Mona is to the left of Sakshi. This means if you move counter-clockwise from Sakshi, you arrive at Mona.
- Considering the remaining top and right seats:
- If Sakshi is at the top seat, her left would be the left seat, which is already taken by Rashmi. This doesn't fit.
- If Sakshi is at the right seat, her left would be the top seat. This seat is available. So, Sakshi is at the right seat, and Mona is at the top seat.
- Thus, the seating arrangement, starting from the bottom and moving clockwise, is: Sunita (Bottom), Sakshi (Right), Mona (Top), Rashmi (Left).
Let's visualize the positions:
| Mona (Top) | ||
| Rashmi (Left) | Sakshi (Right) | |
| Sunita (Bottom) | ||
Identifying Opposite Persons
At a square table with one person on each side, the persons sitting opposite each other are on directly opposite sides.
Based on our derived arrangement:
- The person opposite Sunita (at the bottom) is Mona (at the top).
- The person opposite Rashmi (at the left) is Sakshi (at the right).
So, the pairs sitting opposite each other are Sunita - Mona and Rashmi - Sakshi.
Checking the Options
Now let's look at the given options to find which pair is sitting opposite each other according to our determined arrangement:
- Rashmi - Sunita: These two are adjacent (Rashmi is to the right of Sunita). They are not opposite.
- Mona - Rashmi: These two are adjacent (Mona is at the top, Rashmi is at the left). They are not opposite.
- Rashmi - Sakshi: These two are sitting opposite each other (Rashmi at the left, Sakshi at the right). This matches one of the pairs we identified as opposite.
- Sunita - Sakshi: These two are adjacent (Sunita at the bottom, Sakshi at the right). They are not opposite.
The option that correctly identifies a pair sitting opposite each other is Rashmi - Sakshi.
Important Questions from Polygon Arrangement
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a square table facing the centre of the table. Some of them are sitting at the corners while some are sitting at the exact centre of the sides.
G sits second to the right of F. B sits second to the right of A. C sits third to the right of H. E sits third to the right of F. C is not the immediate neighbour of A. Who sits second to the right of B?
6 persons A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a rectangular table, facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). One person is sitting on each of the smaller sides. Two persons are sitting on each of the bigger sides. No person is sitting at the corners. C and F are sitting on the same side. B is sitting opposite to A. F is the immediate neighbour of B. A is sitting second to the left of D.
Counting towards the left of D, how many persons are sitting between A and D?
Seven friends, A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are seating around a square table, facing towards the centre. Some of them are sitting at the corners while some are sitting at the exact centre of the sides of the table. One seat is left vacant. D is sitting exactly at the centre of one of the sides of the table. C is sitting at a corner, third to the left of B. There are exactly two people sitting between C and D. F is an immediate neighbour of both B and D. A is second to the right of F. E is not an immediate neighbour of A, but third to the left of F. G is an immediate neighbour of C. Where is the vacant seat?
V, W, X, Y, Z, A, B and C were sitting around a square table facing the centre. Some of these were sitting at corners and some were sitting at exact centre of the sides. C was to the immediate right of W. B was third to the left of Z. A was the immediate neighbour of X and C. Z, not at any corner, was the immediate neighbour of W and Y. Who among the following was sitting third to the right of A?
8 boys G, H, I, J, K, L, M and N are sitting around a square table facing towards the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Four boys are sitting at the corner and four boys are sitting in the middle of the sides. J is the immediate neighbour of G and H and he is sitting at a corner. M is the immediate neighbour of N and K. L is the sitting in the middle of the side. G is not sitting opposite to L. N is towards the immediate right of H.
Who is sitting diagonally opposite to I?
