Question

Six family members Mia, Noah, Olivia, Ethan, Grace, and Henry are seated at a circular table facing each other. Grace is second to the left of Ethan. Noah is to the immediate left of Henry, and Mia is second to the left of Noah. Who is the immediate neighbour of both Olivia and Noah?

The correct answer is
Henry

To solve the problem of finding the immediate neighbor of both Olivia and Noah, we need to determine the seating arrangement around the circular table. Let's solve it step by step:

  1. We know Grace is seated second to the left of Ethan. To visualize, let's assume Ethan is seated at position 1 (it's an arbitrary start as it's a circular table).
  2. Since Grace is second to the left of Ethan, Grace must be seated at position 3.
  3. Noah is to the immediate left of Henry. To satisfy this condition, if Henry is at position 6, then Noah must be at position 5 as he is immediately left of Henry.
  4. Mia is second to the left of Noah. If Noah is at position 5, then counting two positions to the left, Mia would be seated at position 3.
  5. Here, we notice a conflict; Grace was already assumed to be at position 3. Therefore, let's adjust starting positions:
  6. Reset and align arrangement correctly considering overlaps: Let's now consider Grace at position 2 (initial move was a guide). Considering Ethan (3rd to Grace), Henry cannot be at 1 (then Mia overlap would occur). Move Ethan to 4, so Grace correctly placed at position 6.
  7. Now, Noah fits correctly at 1, and Henry at 2. Mia now correctly follows the logical seating condition at position 5.
  8. This leaves position 4 for Olivia.
  9. Now let's check the positions:

Based on this final arrangement, Olivia is to the right of Ethan and Noah is to the immediate right of Olivia.

The immediate neighbor of both Olivia and Noah is Henry.

Therefore, the correct answer is Henry.

    1. A is taller than B. 

    2. C is taller than A. 

    3. D is taller than C.

  5. 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.
