Circular Table Seating Logic Puzzle
Six students are seated around a circular table facing the centre. We need to determine the seating arrangement based on the given clues to find who sits between Max and Steven.
Seating Arrangement Deduction
Let's denote the positions clockwise from 1 to 6. We place students based on the clues:
- Clue 1: Jason is third to the right of Tushar. If Tushar is at Position 1, Jason is at Position 4. (Tushar @ P1, ..., Jason @ P4)
- Clue 5: Stacey is to the immediate left of Tushar. Tushar is at P1. Immediate left is Position 6. So Stacey is at P6. (Tushar @ P1, ..., Jason @ P4, ..., Stacey @ P6)
- Clue 4: Max is sitting to the immediate right of Jason. Jason is at P4. Immediate right is Position 5. So Max is at P5. (Tushar @ P1, ..., Jason @ P4, Max @ P5, Stacey @ P6)
- Clue 2: Anand is sitting second to the left of Jason. Jason is at P4. Second left is Position 2. So Anand is at P2. (Tushar @ P1, Anand @ P2, ..., Jason @ P4, Max @ P5, Stacey @ P6)
- Clue 3: Steven is an immediate neighbour of Anand and Jason. The only remaining position is P3. Position P3 is adjacent to P2 (Anand) and P4 (Jason). So Steven is at P3. Final Arrangement (Clockwise): Tushar (P1), Anand (P2), Steven (P3), Jason (P4), Max (P5), Stacey (P6)
Identifying Person Between Max and Steven
The final seating arrangement clockwise is: Tushar, Anand, Steven, Jason, Max, Stacey.
- Max is at Position 5.
- Steven is at Position 3.
- The person sitting between Steven (P3) and Max (P5) along the shorter arc is at Position 4.
- Jason is located at Position 4.
Therefore, Jason is sitting between Max and Steven.
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
