Seating Arrangement Logic
Six members (Viraaj, Deepu, Noor, Prince, Suman, Taran) are seated around a circular table facing the centre. We need to determine their seating order based on the given clues to find the common neighbour of Deepu and Viraaj.
Deriving the Arrangement
- Clue 4: "Noor is sitting second to the left of Prince." Let's place Prince (P). The arrangement clockwise is: P, _, _, _, Noor (N), _.
- Clue 1: "Viraaj is sitting to the immediate right of Noor." Noor (N) is followed immediately by Viraaj (V). Arrangement: P, _, _, _, N, V.
- Clue 2: "Prince is an immediate neighbour of both Viraaj and Deepu." Prince (P) is at one end, and Viraaj (V) is at the other end of the sequence derived so far. Prince's neighbours are the person to his right (Seat 2) and the person to his left (Seat 6, which is Viraaj). Therefore, Deepu (D) must be in Seat 2. Arrangement: P, D, _, _, N, V.
- Clue 3: "Suman is sitting third to the right of Viraaj." Starting from Viraaj (V) and moving right (clockwise): 1st right is Prince (P), 2nd right is Deepu (D), and 3rd right is the next seat. Suman (S) is in this 3rd position. Arrangement: P, D, S, _, N, V.
- Final Placement: The only person left is Taran (T), who must occupy the remaining seat.
Final Seating Order
The final clockwise seating arrangement is: Prince, Deepu, Suman, Taran, Noor, Viraaj.
Visualizing the circle (clockwise):
- Seat 1: Prince
- Seat 2: Deepu
- Seat 3: Suman
- Seat 4: Taran
- Seat 5: Noor
- Seat 6: Viraaj
Identifying Neighbours
We need to find the common immediate neighbour of Deepu and Viraaj.
- Deepu (Seat 2) has neighbours Prince (Seat 1) and Suman (Seat 3).
- Viraaj (Seat 6) has neighbours Noor (Seat 5) and Prince (Seat 1).
The common immediate neighbour for both Deepu and Viraaj is Prince.
Important Questions from Seating arrangement
Five people A, B, C, D and E are seated about a round table. Every chair is spaced equidistant from adjacent chairs.
(i) C is seated next to A
(ii) A is seated two seats from D
(iii) B is not seated next to A
On the basis of above information, which of the following must be true?
1. D is seated next to B
2. E is seated next to A
3. D and C are separated by two seats
Select the correct answer using the code given below:
There are seven persons up on a ladder, A, B, C, D, E, F and G (not in that order). A is further up than E but is lower than C. B is in the middle. G is between A and B. E is between B and F. If F is between E and D, the person on the bottom step of the ladder will be
Consider that:
1. A is taller than B.
2. C is taller than A.
3. D is taller than C.
4. E is the tallest of all.
If they are made to sit in the above order of their height, who will occupy the mid position?
Four children are sitting in a row. A is occupying the seat next to B but not next to C. If C is not sitting next to D, who is/are occupying seat/seats adjacent to D?
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. Last year, the paper contained a question on A.
On the basis of the information given, this year's paper is most likely to contain a question on
