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
Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F and G are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). A is sitting second to the right of E. Only one person is sitting between D and A. B is sitting third to the right of G. F is an immediate neighbour of B. How many people are sitting between D and E when counted from the left of E?
Seven people A, B, C, D, E, F, and G are sitting around a circular table, facing the center (but not necessarily in the same order). C is sitting to the immediate right of E. D is sitting third to the left of C. A is the immediate neighbor of B and C. F is not the immediate neighbor of E. What is the position of G with respect to A?
P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W are sitting around a circular table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order).
P is sitting to the immediate right of V and third to the left of U.
S is sitting fourth to the right of Q, who is not an immediate neighbour of P and T.
Q is sitting to the second right of U.
R is sitting to the immediate right of Q and second to the left of P.
How many people are sitting between R and T when counted from the left of T?
Rajan, Pragyan, Kamal, Sachin, Ashok, Narendra, and Laksh are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order).
Rajan sits 3rd to the right of Narendra. Kamal sits 2nd to the right of Rajan.
Ashok is an immediate neighbour of Narendra. Pragyan sits to the immediate right of Sachin.
Who is sitting 3rd to the left of Narendra?
P got married 15 years ago. Today her age is 13⁄5 times her age at the time of her marriage. At present her son’s age is 1⁄5 of her age. What was her son’s age 4 years ago as a fraction of P’s age at that time?
