Question 1
8 persons sit around a circular table facing the center. Who sits second to the left of Mira?
Diagrammatic Approach (Circle)
Place the 8 persons on a circle. For 'facing the center', define directions:
- Left of a person is clockwise; right is counter-clockwise.
From Mira's position, move two seats to the left per the facing rule.
Validate the mapping and confirm the second-left occupant.
One valid circular order (clockwise): Mira -> Tara -> Laksh -> Aarav -> Qadir -> Omar -> Nihal -> Jatin
Verification:
- Left/right mapping consistent with facing.
- Second-left computed via modular indexing.
- Computed person matches final arrangement index shift.
