Circular Arrangement Logic Puzzle Solution
This solution details the step-by-step arrangement of six students (Lovely, Johnson, Will, Marie, Samantha, Joel) around a circular table based on the given conditions.
Arrangement Steps
- Let the positions around the table be numbered 1 to 6 clockwise. Place Johnson (J) at position 1.
- "Lovely is sitting second to the left of Johnson": Left of J (1) is clockwise. 2nd left means position 3. Place Lovely (L) at position 3.
- "Will is sitting second to the right of Johnson": Right of J (1) is counter-clockwise. 2nd right means position 5. Place Will (W) at position 5.
- "Joel is sitting third to the right of Johnson": Right (counter-clockwise) of J (1) is position 4. Place Joel (Jo) at position 4.
- "Samantha is sitting third to the left of Will": W is at position 5. Left (clockwise) of W means position 6, then 1, then 2. 3rd left is position 2. Place Samantha (S) at position 2.
- The arrangement is J(1), S(2), L(3), Jo(4), W(5), ?(6). The remaining student is Marie (M) at position 6.
- Verify: "Marie is the immediate neighbour of Will and Johnson". M(6) is adjacent to W(5) and J(1). The arrangement is correct.
Final Arrangement
The clockwise seating order is: Johnson, Samantha, Lovely, Joel, Will, Marie.
- Position 1: Johnson
- Position 2: Samantha
- Position 3: Lovely
- Position 4: Joel
- Position 5: Will
- Position 6: Marie
Between Lovely and Johnson
Based on the arrangement (Johnson - Samantha - Lovely - Joel - Will - Marie):
- Lovely is at Position 3.
- Johnson is at Position 1.
- The student at Position 2 sits between them in the sequence (J -> S -> L).
- Position 2 is occupied by Samantha.
Therefore, Samantha is sitting between Lovely and Johnson.

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
