Prerequisites
How to Solve Square Table Arrangement Problems
Step 1: Draw a square and label positions clockwise: corners (C1,C2,C3,C4) and middle of sides (M1,M2,M3,M4)
Step 2: Note: All face center → right=clockwise, left=anti-clockwise
Step 3: Identify opposite positions: corners opposite corners, middles opposite middles
Step 4: Place definite positions
Step 5: Apply relative clues considering the square layout
Step 6: Use adjacency clues (immediate neighbors on the square)
Step 7: Fill remaining positions and verify
Example Problem
Example: 8 persons sit around a square table (4 corners, 4 sides), all facing center. A sits at a corner. B sits second to left of A. C sits opposite to A. D sits at a corner immediately right of E. How many persons sit between A and C from left of A? Solution: Step 1: Label positions C1,M1,C2,M2,C3,M3,C4,M4 clockwise Step 2: A at corner → let A at C1 Step 3: B second to left of A (left=anti-clockwise) → C1→M4→C4 → B at C4 Step 4: C opposite to A (C1) → opposite corner is C3 → C at C3 Step 5: From A (C1) left (anti-clockwise) to C (C3): C1→M4→C4→M3→C3 → persons between: M4, C4, M3 = 3 persons Answer: 3 persons
