Seating Arrangement Questions and Answers

H is sitting to the immediate left of K. Let’s solve this step by step:

Arrange the teachers in a circle:

Since they are sitting around a circular table, relative positions are important.

T is between H and R:

This gives us two possible sequences: H-T-R or R-T-H.

H is to the immediate left of T:

This confirms the sequence as H-T-R.

P is second to the right of R:

Since R is to the right of T, we can place P accordingly.

If R is in position 1, T in position 2, and H in position 3, then P would be in position 3. But since we have H there, this isn’t possible.

Therefore, if R is in position 3, T in position 4, and H in position 5, then P must be in position 1.

Determine the remaining position for K:

The only position left for K is the one immediately to the left of P (which is position 2).

Now, the final arrangement is:

H is in position 5

P is in position 1

K is in position 2

R is in position 3

T is in position 4

The correct answer is:

(a) A

To solve this seating arrangement problem, let’s analyze the information step by step:

1. E is to the left of D.
2. C is seated between A and B.
3. F is seated between E and A.

Since the friends are seated in a circle and facing towards the center, the directions (left and right) are relative to each person’s position.

Step-by-Step Arrangement:

• Let’s place D somewhere in the circle.
• Since E is to the left of D (and they are facing the center), E must be immediately counterclockwise to D.

So, the positions of E and D are adjacent, with E counterclockwise to D.

• Now, C is between A and B. This implies that A, C, and B must be consecutive in the circle.
• F is between E and A.

Given this, we can arrange them as follows:

1. D is somewhere in the circle.
2. E is to the immediate left of D.
3. Since F is between E and A, F is next to E.
4. A is next to F (as F is between E and A).
5. C is between A and B.
6. The only position left for B is next to C.

One possible arrangement is:

• E -> F -> A -> C -> B -> D (and back to E, since it’s a circle)

The person seated immediately to the right of C is A.

Answer: The one who is sitting third to the left of R is Q.

Let’s analyze the seating arrangement step by step:

1. T is sitting exactly in the middle of the row: Since there are 5 girls, T must be in the 3rd position.
   • _ _ T _ _
2. Q is sitting to the immediate right of P and immediate left of T: This means P is in the 1st position, Q is in the 2nd position, and T is in the 3rd position.
   • P Q T __
3. S is not sitting at the extreme end: This means S must be in either the 2nd or 4th position. Since the 2nd position is occupied by P, S must be in the 4th position.

So the arrangement is P (1st) – Q (2nd) – T (3rd) – S (4th) – R (5th).

A and C are sitting together.

Let’s break down the seating arrangement step by step:

1. A and B are sitting face to face: This means A and B are opposite each other.
2. D is not sitting face to face and not sitting next to A but can see A’s facial expression clearly:
   Since D is not sitting face to face with A, D cannot be opposite A. D also cannot be next to A, so D must be sitting opposite C (who is next to A).This puts C opposite B.Since D can see A’s facial expression, D must be sitting to the side of B or C, but not directly in front of A.
3. B is talking to C who is sitting opposite to him:
   This confirms that C is opposite B.So, the arrangement can be visualized as:
   • A and C are sitting next to each other.
   • B and D are sitting opposite them.
   Possible final arrangement:
   • A and C are together, and B and D are together.

So, A and C are sitting together.

(b) 3

There are three friends (C, K,G) sitting between I and M when moving towards the left of I.

Step-by-Step Analysis:

1. E is second to the right of C:
   • Since they are all facing towards the center, if C is sitting at a position, E will be two positions to the right of C.
2. K is to the immediate right of G:
   • This means K is sitting directly next to G on G’s right side.
3. G and I are facing towards each other:
   • In a circular arrangement, facing each other means they are sitting directly opposite each other.

Arrangement Construction:

1. Place G and I first:
   • Since G and I are opposite each other, let’s place them on the circle.
   Suppose G is at position 1, then I must be at position 4 (directly opposite).
2. Place K to the immediate right of G:
   • If K is at position 1, then G must be at position 2.
   • Position 1: K
   • Position 2: G
   • Position 5: I
3. E is second to the right of C:
   • To satisfy this condition, we have to place C and E in such a way that E is two positions to the right of C.
   Let’s assume C is at position 6 (counting from G in a clockwise direction), so E must be at position 4.
   • Position 1: K
   • Position 2: G
   • Position 4: E
   • Position 5: I
   • Position 6: C
4. Place M:
   • The only position left is position 3, so M must be at position 3.
   • Position 1: K
   • Position 2: G
   • Position 3: M
   • Position 4: E
   • Position 5: I
   • Position 6: C

So, there are three friends (C, K,G) sitting between I and M when moving towards the left of I.
