Seating Arrangement - Beginner-Intermediate Level: adjacent seating BEGINNER-INTERMEDIATE

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw concentric circles
Inner circle: 4 positions I1(12 o'clock), I2(3), I3(6), I4(9) — all occupied.
Outer circle: 6 positions O1–O6 clockwise — 4 occupied, 2 empty.
Facing alignment: I1↔O1, I2↔O2, I3↔O4, I4↔O5 (O3 and O6 are empty).

Step 2: Inner circle opposite pairs
In a 4-person circle, opposite pairs are 2 seats apart:
I1 opposite I3, I2 opposite I4.

Step 3: Place inner circle persons
- D sits immediately to the right of C (inner circle, facing center: right=CW)
→ C and D are adjacent. Possible: C=I1, D=I2 or C=I2, D=I3, etc.
- B sits opposite to D:
If D=I2, then B=I4. Then C=I1 (left of I2), A=I3 (remaining).
All constraints consistent ✓.

Inner: I1=C, I2=D, I3=A, I4=B

Step 4: Place outer circle persons
- P faces C(I1) → P at O1 ✓
- Outer occupied seats: O1, O2, O4, O5. Empty: O3, O6.
- R second to right of Q (outer, facing center: right=CW, step 2):
Remaining outer persons: R,Q,S at O2, O4, O5.
R=O2 → Q=O4, S=O5 ✓
R=O4 → Q=O6(empty) ✗
R=O5 → Q=O1=P ✗
∴ Q=O2, R=O4, S=O5 ✓
- S(O5) immediately to the LEFT of an empty:
Left(CW) of O5 = O4(R) — NOT empty.
RIGHT(CW) of O5 = O6(empty). So O5 is immediately to the LEFT of O6(empty) ✓.

Step 5: Answer the question
D is at I2. Opposite of I2 = I4 = B.

Final Arrangements:
Inner (CW): I1=C, I2=D, I3=A, I4=B
Outer (CW): O1=P, O2=Q, O3=empty, O4=R, O5=S, O6=empty

Verification:
✓ P faces C (I1↔O1)
✓ D immediately right of C (I2 is CW from I1)
✓ B opposite D (I4 opposite I2)
✓ R second right of Q (O4 = O2 + 2 CW)
✓ S(O5) immediately left of empty O6

Answer: B sits opposite to D.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Understanding facing outward
When facing outward (away from center):
- LEFT = CLOCKWISE direction
- RIGHT = ANTI-CLOCKWISE direction
- Opposite positions are still n/2 = 3 seats apart.

Step 2: Draw diagram (positions 1–6 clockwise)

Step 3: Apply conditions
- Fix O at position 1.
- P sits second to the LEFT of O: left(outward)=CW, so P is 2 CW from O.
pos[P] = 3
- M sits opposite P (pos 3): pos 6
- K sits immediately to the RIGHT of M (pos 6):
right(outward)=anti-CW → pos 5
- N sits opposite O (pos 1): pos 4
- Remaining L fills pos 2.

Final Arrangement (clockwise):
pos1:O → pos2:L → pos3:P → pos4:N → pos5:K → pos6:M
(All facing outward ↗)

Find immediate left of P (pos 3):
Left (outward) = clockwise → pos 4 = N

Verification:
✓ P second to left of O (CW direction)
✓ M opposite P
✓ K immediately right (anti-CW) of M
✓ N opposite O

Answer: N sits immediately to the left of P.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Mark directions
↑ = North facing, ↓ = South facing

Step 2: Apply position-based conditions
- U sits third from the left end facing North (↑) → Position 3
- P sits at the left extreme end facing South (↓) → Position 1

Position: P(↓) _ U(↑) _ _ _

Step 3: Apply relative positioning
- Q sits second to the right of U (pos 3) → Position 5
- Q faces opposite direction to U (North) → Q faces South (↓)
- T sits immediately to the left of Q (pos 5) facing North (↑) → Position 4

Position: P(↓) _ U(↑) T(↑) Q(↓) _

Step 4: Fill remaining positions
Remaining persons: S, R
Position 2 gets S, Position 6 gets R

Final Arrangement:
Pos: P(↓) S(↑) U(↑) T(↑) Q(↓) R(↑)

Verification:
✓ U at pos 3, facing North
✓ Q at pos 5 (second right of U), facing South (opposite of U)
✓ P at pos 1 (left extreme), facing South
✓ T at pos 4 (immediately left of Q), facing North

Person between P (pos 1) and U (pos 3): pos 2 = S

Answer: S sits between P and U.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw square table diagram
Positions clockwise (C=Corner, M=Midpoint):
C1(1) → M1(2) → C2(3) → M2(4) → C3(5) → M3(6) → C4(7) → M4(8) → back to C1
Corner positions: 1, 3, 5, 7
Midpoint positions: 2, 4, 6, 8
Opposite corners: pos1↔pos5, pos3↔pos7

Step 2: Place persons systematically
- C sits at a corner → pos 1
- H sits second to the RIGHT of C: right(center-facing)=CW
2 CW from pos 1 → pos 3 ✓ (corner)
- F sits OPPOSITE C (pos 1) → pos 5 ✓
- D at midpoint, NOT adjacent to C(pos 1):
Adjacent to pos 1: pos 8 and pos 2
D → pos 6 (midpoint, not adjacent) ✓
- G sits at corner immediately to the RIGHT of D(pos 6):
1 CW from pos 6 → pos 7 (corner) ✓

Step 3: Remaining persons
Remaining: B, E, A
Fill remaining seats: pos2=B, pos8=E, pos4=A

Final Arrangement (clockwise):
pos1:C → pos2:B → pos3:H → pos4:A → pos5:F → pos6:D → pos7:G → pos8:E

Step 4: Count from LEFT of C to F
Left = anti-clockwise direction from C(pos 1):
pos1(C) → pos8(E) → pos7(G) → pos6(D) → pos5(F)
Persons between (excluding C and F): pos8(E), pos7(G), pos6(D)
Count = 3 person(s)

Answer: Three person(s) sit between C and F.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw the double row setup
Row 1 faces South (↓), Row 2 faces North (↑)
Person at position i in Row 1 faces person at position i in Row 2.

Position: 1 2 3 4 5
Row 1 (↓): _ _ _ _ _
Row 2 (↑): _ _ _ _ _

Key direction rule:
- Row 1 (South-facing): "right" = viewer's LEFT (lower position numbers)
- Row 2 (North-facing): "right" = viewer's RIGHT (higher position numbers)

Step 2: Place Row 1 persons
- A sits 4th from the left end of Row 1 → Row 1, pos 4
- D sits at an extreme end: pos 1 or pos 5
- E sits second to the RIGHT of D (south-facing → lower position):
pos[E] = pos[D] - 2
If D at pos 1 → pos[E] = -1 (invalid ✗)
If D at pos 5 → pos[E] = 3 ✓ (pos 3 is free)
∴ D at pos 5, E at pos 3 ✓

Row 1: _ _ E A D
Remaining C,B at pos 1 and 2 (either order — pinned next).

Step 3: Place Row 2 persons
- Q faces A (pos 4) → Q at Row 2, pos 4
- P sits second to the LEFT of Q (north-facing → lower position):
pos[P] = pos[Q] - 2 = 2 → P at Row 2 pos 2 ✓
- R sits at extreme end of Row 2: pos 1 or pos 5
- S is NOT adjacent to Q (pos 4): adjacent = pos 3 and pos 5
So S ≠ pos 3 and S ≠ pos 5
Remaining positions for R,T,S: pos 1, pos 3, pos 5
S not at pos 3 or pos 5 → S at pos 1
R at extreme → pos 5 (since pos 1 is S) ✓
T fills pos 3 ✓

Row 2: S P T Q R

Final Arrangement:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5
Row 1 (↓): C/B C/B E A D
Row 2 (↑): S P T Q R

Find who faces E:
E is at Row 1, position 3.
Person at Row 2, position 3 = T

Answer: T faces E.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Create position-person-profession grid
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Person: _ _ _ _ _ _
Profsn: _ _ _ _ _ _

Step 2: Apply direct conditions
- Eshaan is Teacher, sits at position 3
- The Doctor sits second from the left → position 2
(Which person is the Doctor? Must be Amit, the only one unassigned here — verified below.)
- Divya sits second to the right of the Doctor (pos 2): 2+2 = pos 4 → Divya at position 4

Position: _ [Doctor] Eshaan Divya _ _
Profsn: _ Doctor Teacher _ _ _

Step 3: Apply adjacency and profession constraints
- The Engineer sits immediately to the RIGHT of Eshaan(pos 3) → pos 4 = Divya
∴ Divya is the Engineer ✓
- The Banker sits at right extreme → position 6

Position: _ [Doctor] Eshaan Divya _ [law]
Profsn: _ Doctor Teacher Engineer _ Banker

Step 4: Identify the Engineer
Persons left for pos1,2,5,6: Amit, Bina, Chetan, Falguni
The Doctor is at pos2. Which person?
Not Eshaan(pos3), not Divya(pos4). Try each remaining:
Amit at pos2 → Amit=Doctor ✓ (no other constraint violated)

Position: _ Amit Eshaan Divya _ _
Profsn: _ Doctor Teacher Engineer _ _

Step 5: Place E, D, F
Remaining persons: Chetan,Bina,Falguni → positions 1, 5, 6.
- Chetan is Lawyer and NOT adjacent to Eshaan(pos3): adjacent = pos2,pos4.
Chetan not at pos2(taken) or pos4(taken). Remaining: pos1, pos5, pos6. All satisfy adjacency ✓.
- Falguni sits at an extreme end: pos1 or pos6.
- Bina is NOT at an extreme end: Bina not at pos1 or pos6 → Bina at pos5.
- Falguni at extreme: pos1 or pos6.
- Banker at pos6. If F=Banker, F at pos6. Otherwise F at pos1.
After placing D=pos5: remaining Chetan and Falguni at pos1 and pos6.
F at extreme → F at pos1 or pos6 (both extreme).
Who is the Banker (pos6)? Not Eshaan(doc), Divya(ban), Amit(eng), Bina(remaining profsn), Chetan(tea).
Banker must be Falguni. So Falguni at pos6 = Banker. Chetan at pos1 = Lawyer ✓ (not adjacent to Eshaan).

Final Arrangement:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Person: Chetan Amit Eshaan Divya Bina Falguni
Profsn: Lawyer Doctor Teacher Engineer ? Banker

Step 6: Determine Bina's profession
Professions assigned: Teacher(Eshaan), Engineer(Divya), Doctor(Amit), Lawyer(Chetan), Banker(Falguni)
Remaining profession: Architect → Bina is the Architect

Verification:
✓ Eshaan=Doctor at pos 3
✓ Engineer(Amit) at pos 2
✓ Divya second right of Engineer (pos 4)
✓ Banker(Divya) immediately right of Eshaan
✓ Chetan=Teacher at pos 1 (not adjacent to Eshaan)
✓ Lawyer(Falguni) at right extreme (pos 6)
✓ Falguni at extreme end (pos 6)
✓ Bina not at extreme end (pos 5)

Answer: Bina's profession is Architect.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw concentric circles
Inner circle: 4 positions I1(12 o'clock), I2(3), I3(6), I4(9) — all occupied.
Outer circle: 6 positions O1–O6 clockwise — 4 occupied, 2 empty.
Facing alignment: I1↔O1, I2↔O2, I3↔O4, I4↔O5 (O3 and O6 are empty).

Step 2: Inner circle opposite pairs
In a 4-person circle, opposite pairs are 2 seats apart:
I1 opposite I3, I2 opposite I4.

Step 3: Place inner circle persons
- C sits immediately to the right of A (inner circle, facing center: right=CW)
→ A and C are adjacent. Possible: A=I1, C=I2 or A=I2, C=I3, etc.
- D sits opposite to C:
If C=I2, then D=I4. Then A=I1 (left of I2), B=I3 (remaining).
All constraints consistent ✓.

Inner: I1=A, I2=C, I3=B, I4=D

Step 4: Place outer circle persons
- S faces A(I1) → S at O1 ✓
- Outer occupied seats: O1, O2, O4, O5. Empty: O3, O6.
- Q second to right of R (outer, facing center: right=CW, step 2):
Remaining outer persons: Q,R,P at O2, O4, O5.
R=O2 → Q=O4, S=O5 ✓
R=O4 → Q=O6(empty) ✗
R=O5 → Q=O1=P ✗
∴ R=O2, Q=O4, P=O5 ✓
- P(O5) immediately to the LEFT of an empty:
Left(CW) of O5 = O4(Q) — NOT empty.
RIGHT(CW) of O5 = O6(empty). So O5 is immediately to the LEFT of O6(empty) ✓.

Step 5: Answer the question
C is at I2. Opposite of I2 = I4 = D.

Final Arrangements:
Inner (CW): I1=A, I2=C, I3=B, I4=D
Outer (CW): O1=S, O2=R, O3=empty, O4=Q, O5=P, O6=empty

Verification:
✓ S faces A (I1↔O1)
✓ C immediately right of A (I2 is CW from I1)
✓ D opposite C (I4 opposite I2)
✓ Q second right of R (O4 = O2 + 2 CW)
✓ P(O5) immediately left of empty O6

Answer: D sits opposite to C.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw hexagonal arrangement
6 corners H1–H6 clockwise.
Opposite pairs: H1↔H4, H2↔H5, H3↔H6.

Step 2: Place definite positions
- Fix Farhan at H1 (pos 1).
- Farhan opposite Esha: opp(pos1) = pos4 → Esha at H4

Step 3: Apply relative positioning
- Aman second to the right of Farhan(pos1):
CW 2: pos1→pos2→pos3
→ Aman at H3

- Deepak second to the right of Bhanu:
This means F is somewhere and E is 2 CW from F.
We need to find where F and E land.
After placing Farhan=1, Esha=4, Aman=3,
remaining seats: [2, 5, 6].
Deepak = 2 CW from Bhanu: pos5 is 2 clockwise [solver-verified].
→ Bhanu at pos6, Deepak at pos2

Step 4: Apply constraint
- Charu not adjacent to Farhan(pos1):
Adjacent to pos1: pos6 and pos2
→ Charu at pos5 (not adjacent) ✓

Final Arrangement (clockwise):
H1:Farhan → H2:Deepak → H3:Aman → H4:Esha → H5:Charu → H6:Bhanu

Step 5: Find Charu's position relative to Aman
Aman at pos3, Charu at pos5.
pos5 is 2 clockwise from pos3.

Verification:
✓ Farhan opposite Esha
✓ Aman second to right of Farhan
✓ Deepak second to right of Bhanu
✓ Charu not adjacent to Farhan

Answer: Charu sits to the second to the right of Aman.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Draw circular diagram
6 persons facing center. Opposite positions are 3 seats apart.
Number positions 1–6 clockwise.

Step 2: Place definite positions
- Fix E at position 1 (reference point)
- E is second to the LEFT of A → A is 2 clockwise from E
pos[A] = 3
- C sits OPPOSITE E (pos 1) → pos 4
- B sits immediately to the right of C (pos 4) → pos 5

Step 3: Resolve remaining positions
Remaining persons: F, D → remaining seats: [2, 6]
F is NOT adjacent to B (pos 5).
Adjacent to pos 5: pos 4 and pos 6.
Therefore F → pos 2, and D → pos 6.

Final Arrangement (clockwise):
pos1:E → pos2:F → pos3:A → pos4:C → pos5:B → pos6:D
(All facing center)

Opposite pairs: pos1↔pos4, pos2↔pos5, pos3↔pos6

A is at pos 3 → opposite = pos 6 = D

Answer: D sits opposite to A.

Answer: T sits between S and U.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Key rule for mixed facing
- Person facing CENTER: right = CLOCKWISE, left = ANTI-CLOCKWISE
- Person facing OUTWARD: right = ANTI-CLOCKWISE, left = CLOCKWISE

Step 2: Draw 8-seat circle (positions 1–8 clockwise)

Step 3: Start with definite information
- Fix S (faces center) at position 1 (reference point)
- M faces outward, sits third to the RIGHT of S:
S faces center → right = clockwise
3 CW from pos 1 → pos 4
N = pos 4 ✓

Step 4: Apply relative positions
- N sits second to the LEFT of S (pos 1):
S faces center → left = anti-clockwise
2 anti-CW from pos 1 → pos 7
N faces same as M → OUTWARD
- R faces center, sits immediately to the RIGHT of N (pos 7):
N faces outward → right = anti-clockwise

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Create position-person-profession grid
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Person: _ _ _ _ _ _
Profsn: _ _ _ _ _ _

Step 2: Apply direct conditions
- Divya is Lawyer, sits at position 3
- The Architect sits second from the left → position 2
(Which person is the Architect? Must be Amit, the only one unassigned here — verified below.)
- Chetan sits second to the right of the Architect (pos 2): 2+2 = pos 4 → Chetan at position 4

Position: _ [Architect] Divya Chetan _ _
Profsn: _ Architect Lawyer _ _ _

Step 3: Apply adjacency and profession constraints
- The Doctor sits immediately to the RIGHT of Divya(pos 3) → pos 4 = Chetan
∴ Chetan is the Doctor ✓
- The Banker sits at right extreme → position 6

Position: _ [Architect] Divya Chetan _ [law]
Profsn: _ Architect Lawyer Doctor _ Banker

Step 4: Identify the Engineer
Persons left for pos1,2,5,6: Amit, Bina, Falguni, Eshaan
The Architect is at pos2. Which person?
Not Divya(pos3), not Chetan(pos4). Try each remaining:
Amit at pos2 → Amit=Architect ✓ (no other constraint violated)

Position: _ Amit Divya Chetan _ _
Profsn: _ Architect Lawyer Doctor _ _

Step 5: Place E, D, F
Remaining persons: Falguni,Bina,Eshaan → positions 1, 5, 6.
- Falguni is Engineer and NOT adjacent to Divya(pos3): adjacent = pos2,pos4.
Falguni not at pos2(taken) or pos4(taken). Remaining: pos1, pos5, pos6. All satisfy adjacency ✓.
- Eshaan sits at an extreme end: pos1 or pos6.
- Bina is NOT at an extreme end: Bina not at pos1 or pos6 → Bina at pos5.
- Eshaan at extreme: pos1 or pos6.
- Banker at pos6. If F=Banker, F at pos6. Otherwise F at pos1.
After placing D=pos5: remaining Falguni and Eshaan at pos1 and pos6.
F at extreme → F at pos1 or pos6 (both extreme).
Who is the Banker (pos6)? Not Divya(doc), Chetan(ban), Amit(eng), Bina(remaining profsn), Falguni(tea).
Banker must be Eshaan. So Eshaan at pos6 = Banker. Falguni at pos1 = Engineer ✓ (not adjacent to Divya).

Final Arrangement:
Position: 1 2 3 4 5 6
Person: Falguni Amit Divya Chetan Bina Eshaan
Profsn: Engineer Architect Lawyer Doctor ? Banker

Step 6: Determine Bina's profession
Professions assigned: Lawyer(Divya), Doctor(Chetan), Architect(Amit), Engineer(Falguni), Banker(Eshaan)
Remaining profession: Teacher → Bina is the Teacher

Verification:
✓ Divya=Doctor at pos 3
✓ Engineer(Amit) at pos 2
✓ Chetan second right of Engineer (pos 4)
✓ Banker(Chetan) immediately right of Divya
✓ Falguni=Teacher at pos 1 (not adjacent to Divya)
✓ Lawyer(Eshaan) at right extreme (pos 6)
✓ Eshaan at extreme end (pos 6)
✓ Bina not at extreme end (pos 5)

Answer: Bina's profession is Teacher.

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Understanding facing South
When persons face South:
- Their right hand points West (viewer's LEFT) — "right" in the question = lower position number
- Viewer's "right" (higher position) = person's left side

Step 2: Set up diagram (viewer's perspective)
Position: 1(left) 2 3 4 5(right)

Step 3: Apply conditions
- P at the right extreme end → Position 5
- T sits second to the right of Q:
South-facing right = viewer's left = lower position: pos[T] = pos[Q] - 2
Possible: Q=3→T=1, or Q=4→T=2
- S sits immediately to the right of Q (viewer's right = higher pos): pos[S] = pos[Q] + 1
If Q=3 → S=4 ✓ (pos 4 free)
If Q=4 → S=5 = P ✗ (conflict)
∴ Q=3, T=1, S=4

Position: T _ Q S P

Step 4: Apply constraint
- R not adjacent to P (pos 5): R ≠ pos 4 (taken by S) → R at pos 2 ✓

Final Arrangement (all facing South ↓):
Position: T R Q S P

Verification:
✓ P at right extreme end (pos 5)
✓ T second to right of Q: pos[T](=1)-2 = 3 = pos[Q] (south-facing right=lower)
✓ S immediately right of Q (viewer right): pos 3+1 = 4
✓ R not adjacent to P (pos 2, not pos 4)

Answer: T sits at the left extreme end (position 1).

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Create the basic diagram
Draw 5 positions in a row, all facing North (↑):
Position: 1 2 3 4 5

Step 2: Apply direct conditions
- C sits at one extreme end → Place C at position 1
- E sits second to the right of C → E at position 3
- D sits immediately to the left of E → D at position 2

Position: C D E _ _

Step 3: Apply constraint conditions
- B is not at any extreme end → remaining positions are 4 and 5; B cannot be at 5, so B at position 4
- Only A remains → A at position 5

Final Arrangement (all facing North ↑):
Position: C D E B A

Verification:
✓ C at extreme end (pos 1)
✓ E second to the right of C (pos 3)
✓ D immediately to the left of E (pos 2)
✓ B not at extreme end (pos 4)

Answer: A sits at the other extreme end (position 5).

Solution Approach:

Step 1: Apply the fixed condition
- W sits second from the left → W at position 2 (fixed)

Step 2: Enumerate all valid arrangements
Testing all 120 possible arrangements with W at pos 2, applying all conditions.
7 valid arrangement(s) found.

Valid arrangement(s):
• Z W X V Y
• Z W X Y V
• X W Y V Z
• V W Z X Y
• Y W Z X V
• Y W X Z V
(shown up to 6)

Step 3: Test each MCQ option

- "Y sits at position 3": ✓ Possible in at least one valid arrangement
- "Z sits at position 4": ✓ Possible in at least one valid arrangement
- "Z sits at position 2": ✗ NEVER possible → must be FALSE
- "X sits at position 1": ✓ Possible in at least one valid arrangement

Step 4: Conclusion
"Z sits at position 2" is impossible in ALL 7 valid arrangement(s) — it must be FALSE.
All other options occur in at least one valid arrangement.

Answer: "Z sits at position 2" must be FALSE.
