right end of their row and is exactly opposite T. A sits at the extreme left end of their
row and is exactly opposite O. (Persons facing south are exactly opposite to persons
facing north)
Who sits at the centre of the row of people facing South?
This problem involves a seating arrangement puzzle with two parallel rows.
Arrangement Setup
- Two parallel rows with 3 people each.
- Row 1: P, O, T facing South.
- Row 2: A, E, R facing North.
Deducing Positions
We use the given clues to determine the exact seating arrangement:
- A sits at the extreme left end of the row facing North. This means the North row looks like: A _ _ (facing North).
- E sits at the extreme right end of their row. Since E faces North, the North row is: A _ E (facing North).
- The remaining person in the North row is R. So, the North row is: A R E (facing North).
- A is exactly opposite O. Since A is at the left end of the North row, O must be at the left end of the South row: O _ _ (facing South).
- E is exactly opposite T. Since E is at the right end of the North row, T must be at the right end of the South row: O _ T (facing South).
- The remaining person in the South row is P. So, the South row is: O P T (facing South).
Final Seating Arrangement
The complete arrangement is:
| North Row | A | R | E |
| South Row | O | P | T |
Identifying the Center Person (South Row)
The row of people facing South consists of O, P, and T.
- O is at the left end.
- P is in the center.
- T is at the right end.
Therefore, P sits at the centre of the row of people facing South.
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
