Nine friends, A, B. C, D. E, F. G, H and I are sitting around a circular table facing the center but not necessarily in the same order. D is sitting second to the right of F. H is an immediate neighbor of E. Two persons are sitting between A and E. B is sitting second to the left of C. Two persons are sitting between D and C. Neither H nor E is immediate neighbor of C and D. G is sitting third to the right of A. Only one person is sitting between C and E.

Question 1: Starting from A, if all the persons are made to sit in the alphabetical order in anticlockwise direction, the positions of how many (excluding A) will remain unchanged?

a) One

b) Two

c) Three

d) Four

e) None

1) Answer (A)

Solution:

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.

If all the persons are made to sit in the alphabetical order in anticlockwise direction from A,

Then, the position of only 1 person, i.e. H remains unchanged.

=> Ans – (A)

Question 2: How many persons are seated between F and G if we go anticlockwise from F to G?

a) Two

b) Four

Solution:

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.

There are three persons between F and G if we go anti clockwise from F, i.e. A,D and B.

=> Ans – (C)

=> 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.

Eight friends P, Q, R, S, W, X, Y and Z are sitting around a circular table but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing the centre and some others are facing outside (i.e. in a direction opposite to the centre.)
Note :

(i) Facing the same direction means if one person faces the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice-versa.
(ii) Facing the opposite directions means if one person faces the centre then the other faces outside and vice-versa.
(iii) Immediate neighbours facing the same direction means if one person faces the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice-versa.
(iv) Immediate neighbours facing the opposite directions means if one person faces the centre then the other faces outside and vice-versa.
• R sits second to the right of Y. Only two persons sit between R and W.
• P sits to the immediate right of W. W faces outside.
• Only one person sits between P and Z. Immediate neighbours of P face opposite directions.
