Introduction to Hexagonal Table Arrangement

Hexagonal Table Arrangement problems involve seating persons at the corners of a regular hexagon, all facing the center. These problems test understanding of hexagonal geometry and relative positioning in a 6-sided polygon.

Prerequisites

Circular arrangement basics Understanding of hexagon geometry Opposite positions in hexagon Adjacent position identification
Why This Matters: Hexagonal Table problems appear in 1-2 questions in Banking PO and SSC exams. They test polygon seating reasoning.

How to Solve Hexagonal Table Arrangement Problems

1

Step 1: Draw a hexagon with positions 1 to 6 in clockwise order

2

Step 2: Note: All face center → right=clockwise, left=anti-clockwise

3

Step 3: Identify opposite positions: 1 opposite 4, 2 opposite 5, 3 opposite 6

4

Step 4: Place definite positions

5

Step 5: Apply relative clues

6

Step 6: Use adjacency and opposite relationships

7

Step 7: Fill remaining positions and verify

Pro Strategy: Draw the hexagon with numbered vertices. Use circular logic with 6 positions. Remember that opposite positions are exactly 3 steps apart.

Example Problem

Example: Six persons sit at corners of a hexagon facing center. A sits opposite to B. C sits second to right of A. D sits between B and E. Who sits opposite to F? Solution: Step 1: Positions 1-6 clockwise Step 2: A opposite B → if A at pos1, B at pos4 Step 3: C second to right of A (right=clockwise) → pos1→pos2→pos3 → C at pos3 Step 4: D between B and E → B at pos4, so D and E at pos5 and pos3? but pos3 is C → arrangement adjusted Step 5: After solving, F at remaining position Answer: Person opposite to F
