Sitting Arrangement

Question:

Eight teachers Anil, Kamal, Ram, Sanjay, Aakash, Vivek, Rahul and Ramu are sitting around a circular table facing towards the center (not necessarily in the same order). Ramu is  third to the left of Ram. Vivek is third to the right of Ram. Aakash is to the immediate right of Anil. Sanjay is not immediate neighbour of Ram or Ramu. Rahul is second to the left of Anil. Who is second to the left of Kamal?

Options:

Ram

Rahul 

Aakash 

Ramu

Correct Answer:

Aakash 

Explanation:

Let the eight teachers be placed around the circular table with positions 1-8:

1.  Ramu is  third to the left of Ram. Vivek is third to the right of Ram.

⇒ Ram is placed at position1, then Ramu is at position 4 and Vivek is at 6.

2. Sanjay is not immediate neighbour of Ram or Ramu. 

⇒ The only position left for Sanjay is 7.

3. Aakash is to the immediate right of Anil. Rahul is second to the left of Anil.

⇒ If Anil is placed at position 3, then Aakash sits at position 2 and Rahul is at 5.

The only vacant position is filled by Kamal.

Thus, Aakash is the one who is second to the left of Kamal.
