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.
