Instructions

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below :


Eight persons N, O, P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a circular area at equal distances between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of the people are facing the centre while some face outside (i.e. in a direction opposite to the centre).


(NOTE : Same direction means that if one person is facing the centre then the other person also faces the centre and vice-versa. Opposite direction means that if one person is facing the centre then the other person faces outside and vice-versa.)


R sits second to the right of T. T face the centre. O sits third to the left of R. R and O face opposite directions. Immediate neighbours of O face the centre. P sits second to the right of O. U sits to the immediate left of P. N sits second to the left of Q. Q faces the same direction as O. Q is not an immediate neighbour of T. Immediate neighbours of R face opposite directions. (i.e. if one neighbour faces the centre the other neighbour faces outside and vice-versa.)

Question 76

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way based on the given seating arrangement and so form a group. Which is the one that does not belong to that group ?

Solution

R sits second to the right of T and T faces the centre. 

O sits third to the left of R. R and O face opposite directions, => Let R faces outside, and thus O faces the centre. 

P sits second to the right of O, => P sits to the immediate left of T. 

U sits to the immediate left of P, => P faces the centre and U sits between O and P. 

N sits second to the left of Q. Q faces the same direction as O. Q is not an immediate neighbour of T, => Q faces the centre and sits to the immediate left of R and N sits between T and R. 

Immediate neighbours of R face opposite directions, => N faces outside.

Immediate neighbours of O face the centre, => U and S faces the centre.

Among the given options, only N faces outside.

=> Ans - (D)
