Six students A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table, all facing opposite to the centre. D is to the immediate right of E, who is to the immediate right of F. A is the immediate neighbour of D and C. Who among the following is sitting second to the left of E?
Circular Arrangement Setup
Six students (A, B, C, D, E, F) are seated around a circular table facing the center. We need to determine their positions based on the given clues.
- D is to the immediate right of E: Since they face the center, "right" means clockwise. So, the order is E followed immediately by D clockwise (E -> D).
- E is to the immediate right of F: This means F is followed immediately by E clockwise (F -> E).
- Combining the first two points, we get a sequence: F -> E -> D (clockwise).
- A is the immediate neighbor of D and C: This means A sits between D and C. Since D is already placed next to E, A must sit next to D. The sequence becomes F -> E -> D -> A -> C (clockwise).
- We have accounted for five students: F, E, D, A, C. The remaining student is B.
- In a circular arrangement of six people, the sequence F -> E -> D -> A -> C must connect back to F. The only remaining position is between C and F. Therefore, B must sit between C and F.
- The final clockwise arrangement is: F -> E -> D -> A -> C -> B -> F.
Position Relative to E
The question asks who is sitting second to the left of E.
- Start at student E.
- Facing the center, E's immediate left (counter-clockwise) is F.
- The person to F's left (which is the second position to the left of E, counter-clockwise) is B.
Therefore, B is sitting second to the left of E.
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
