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.
