Question

Answer 1

$\large\green{\textsf{✩ Verified Answer ✓ }}$

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the given information :

A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

1) A is sitting second to the right of D, who is third to the left of B.

2) If C is NOT sitting with D then C will be sit to the just right of B.

So, from both cases :

'D' is sitting between E and F.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

Who is used for the second person in a connecting statement.

For example, in the above question :

A is sitting second to the right of D, who is third to the left of B.

Here, who is used for D and not for A.

Thus D is third to the left of B.

Answer 2

GIVEN:  A, B, C, D, E and,  F sit around a circular table. A sits two seats to the left of C, and B sits two seats to the right of C. If F doesn't sit next to C

TO FIND: different arrangements are possible

SOLUTION:

We will start solving this logical reasoning question by drawing a circular arrangement diagram.

We place C in one spot and then place A who sits two seats to the left of C.

Then place B who sits two seats to the right of C.

Then if F cannot sit with C then F is between A AND B.

Therefore, there are two different arrangements that are possible.

E and D will be either on the left or and right of c.

The two arrangements are,
