1) Answer (A)

Using a and e, we get the following arrangement,

From c, the friends eating upma and vada must sit in the corner of the longer side of the table.

Using d, g and c, we get only one possibility,

Using b, we can say that R and V must be in the centre of the longer side of the table. Also, R sits second to the left of one who has paratha. Thus, we get arrangement as,

The friend having oatmeal sits to the immediate right of the one having idly. Thus the final arrangement we get is,

 

T sits to the left of friend having vada. Similarly, P sits to the left of friend having dhokla.

 

Hence, option A is the correct choice.

2) Answer (E)

G is sitting third to the right of A and there are two persons between A and E.

=> E is sitting third to the left of A.

B is sitting second to the left of C and there is one person between C and E.

=> C is sitting second to the left of E and B is sitting to the immediate left of G.

Also, there are 2 person sitting between C and D but D is not sitting adjacent to E.

=> D is sitting third to the left of C and since D is sitting second to the right of F, => F is sitting to the immediate left of A.

H is sitting adjacent to E but not to C, => H is sitting to the immediate right of E.

C is related to D, => D sits third to the left of C.

H is related to C, => C sits third to the left of H.

In the same way, E is related to G because G sits third to the left of E.

=> Ans – (E)

3) Answer (E)

W faces outside and P sits to the immediate right of W.

Only two persons sit between R and W., => R sits third to the left of W.

Also, R sits second to the right of Y,=> Y sits to the immediate left of W facing inside.

Only one person sits between P and Z, => Z sits third to the right of W.

Q sits third to the left of Z, => Z faces inside and Q sits between R and Y.

Since, X is not an immediate neighbour of P, => X sits between Z and R and faces opposite direction to that of Y i.e., faces outside.

S faces inside and thus R and Q faces outside. The arrangement :

Clearly, none of the above options is true regarding S.

=> Ans – (E)

4) Answer (C)

From 2, we know that Dinesh was sitting opposite the physics professor. Hence, let Dinesh sit at 1 and the physics professor at 4.
From 6, Esha was sitting to the left of Ganesh. The possibilities are: (Esha, Ganesh) – (6, 5) or (3, 2).
Case 1: (Esha, Ganesh) – (3 , 2)
From 5, Dinesh was the maths professor. From 1, Ganesh was the electronics professor.
From 4, the only possible position for the biology professor is 6 and chemistry teacher is 5.
This contradicts 3, as the maths professor and the biology professor are not sitting adjacent each other.
Hence, this case is not possible.

Case 2: (Esha, Ganesh) – (6, 5)
From 5, Dinesh was the maths professor. From 1, Ganesh was the electronics professor.
From 4, the only possible position for the biology professor is 3 and chemistry teacher is 2.
Ram can only sit at 4. Since Arun does not sit 2, he has to sit at 3. Hari should sit at 2.
Esha should be the English professor.

The arrangement will look like this:

Except C, all pairs are neighbors.

Hence, option C is the right choice.

5) Answer (B)

P sits third to the left of M and is an immediate neighbour of both O and S.

Only one person sits between O and Q, => O sits to the immediate left of P

Also, R is an immediate neighbour of O, => R sits between O and Q.

Only one person sit between R and N, => N sits between Q and M.

The remaining vacant place is filled by L. The arrangement :

M is related to R, => R sits third to the right of M

P is related to M, => M sits third to the right of P.

Similarly, Q sits third to the right of L, => L is related to Q.

=> Ans – (B)

6) Answer (E)

S is sitting fourth to the left of P, => S is sitting opposite to P and S faces outside.

O is sitting second to the right of S.

L is sitting third to the right of R and R is not an immediate neighbour of P,

=> R sits second to the left of S, and faces outside. Thus, L sits to the immediate right of S.

Since, both the immediate neighbours of M face opposite directions and immediate neighbours of Q face towards the centre,

=> N sits between S and R, since they both face outside.

Similarly, Q sits between P and O, where P and O faces the centre and M sits between P and R.

=> P and L faces the centre. The arrangement :

The only true statement is that S is one of the immediate neighbours of N.

=> Ans – (E)

7) Answer (E)

There are only three people between P and L, => P and L are sitting opposite each other and N is second to the right of P.

P is an immediate neighbour of J, => Let J is to the immediate right of P.

There are only three people between J and K, => J and K are sitting opposite each other.

There is only one person sitting between M and J, => M is sitting second to the right of J and O is sitting third to the right of M

Thus, the only position left is filled by Q, i.e. to the immediate left of P.

The first person is to the immediate right of the second person, but it is not observed in KO, as K is to the immediate left of O.

=> Ans – (E)

8) Answer (B)

D is an immediate neighbour of G and D is neither an Engineer nor an Architect.

The only false statement is that G is a Doctor.

=> Ans – (B)

12) Answer (D)

B is third to the left of T, => B sits opposite T and T faces the centre.

Also, C is second to the right of T.

V is second to the left of C, => C faces outside and V sits 2nd to its left ($\because$ if C faces inside, then 2nd to its left is occupied by T).

A is seated next to V, => A sits to the immediate left of T.

U is second to the right of A, => A faces inside, and U is to the immediate right of T.

Thus, B faces outside.

(H, B) can sit at (8, 6) or (5, 3).
If (H, B) sit at (5, 3)
G has to sit at 7. From 5, we know that E is a neighbor of B but not of C. This is not possible. Hence, (H, B) cannot sit at (5, 3).
If (H, B) sit at (8, 6)
G has to sit at 2.
Now E can sit at 7 or 5. If E sits at 7, D will sit at 5 and A will sit at 3. But, it is given that A and F are not neighbors. Hence, E should sit at 5.
If E sits at 5, D will sit at 3 and A will sit at 7.
The final arrangement:

All, except D, are immediate neighbors.

20) Answer (C)

G is sitting third to the right of F.

H is not an immediate neighbour of F and G. A is sitting second to the right of H, => H sits 2nd to the right of G and A sits to the immediate left of F.

B is sitting third to the right of C and C is not an immediate neighbour of G, => C sits to the immediate left of A and B sits to the immediate right of F.

D is not an immediate neighbour of H or C, => D sits between B and G, thus E sits between G and H.

Series : AF DG CA ?

1st person : A (+3 positions) = D (+4 positions) = C (+5 positions) = G

2nd person : F (+3 positions) = G (+4 positions) = A (+5 positions) = E

Thus, missing term = GE

=> Ans – (C)
