Circular Table Seating Arrangement Logic
This problem involves determining the positions of students around a circular table using logical deduction based on provided relational clues.
Deducing the Seating Order
-
Establish Key Neighbour Relationships:
- Deep sits between Johar and Roop. This implies a block like $Johar-Deep-Roop$ or $Roop-Deep-Johar$.
- Soma sits between Manvi and Johar. This implies a block like $Manvi-Soma-Johar$ or $Johar-Soma-Manvi$.
-
Combine Clues for Sequence Building:
- Assume the clockwise order around Deep is $Roop-Deep-Johar$ based on the first clue.
- Use the clue "Soma is sitting second to the right of Deep". In the $Roop-Deep-Johar$ sequence, Johar is first to Deep's right. Therefore, Soma must be positioned next to Johar, extending the sequence to $Roop-Deep-Johar-Soma$.
- Incorporate the clue "Soma is an immediate neighbour of both Manvi and Johar". Since Johar is already next to Soma, Manvi must occupy the other adjacent seat: $Roop-Deep-Johar-Soma-Manvi$.
-
Finalize the Arrangement:
- Tanya is the sixth student. In a circular arrangement, she must sit in the remaining seat, which is between Manvi and Roop.
- The complete clockwise circular order is: Tanya, Roop, Deep, Johar, Soma, Manvi.
-
Verify All Conditions:
- Deep's neighbours are Roop and Johar. (Correct)
- Soma's neighbours are Johar and Manvi. (Correct)
- Soma is second to the right of Deep. (Correct: Deep -> Johar -> Soma)
- Roop is second to the left of Johar. (Correct: Johar -> Deep -> Roop)
The deduced clockwise order is: Deep, Johar, Soma, Manvi, Tanya, Roop.
Identifying Tanya and Deep's Neighbour
From the established seating arrangement:
- Tanya's immediate neighbours are Manvi and Roop.
- Deep's immediate neighbours are Roop and Johar.
The student who is an immediate neighbour to both Tanya and Deep is Roop.
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
