Question 1
8 persons sit around a circular table facing the center. Who sits second to the left of Wafa?
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 Wafa'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): Jatin -> Mira -> Tara -> Priya -> Wafa -> Hina -> Gaurav -> Ira
Verification:
- Left/right mapping consistent with facing.
- Second-left computed via modular indexing.
- Computed person matches final arrangement index shift.
