Five children Arun, Bhuvi, Charu, Deepak and Emmy are sitting along the corners of a pentagonal table facing the centre. Bhuvi is between Emmy and Charu. Deepak is to the right of Emmy. Who is to the left of Charu?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → Arun
When people sit round a table facing the centre, each person’s right is anticlockwise and left is clockwise (seen from above).
Bhuvi is between Emmy and Charu, so the three sit together in the order Emmy, Bhuvi, Charu.
Deepak is to the right of Emmy. Emmy’s one neighbour is Bhuvi, so Deepak must take her other side: Deepak, Emmy, Bhuvi, Charu.
The only seat left, between Charu and Deepak, is Arun’s.
Emmy has Deepak on her right, so the direction from Emmy towards Bhuvi is everyone’s left; going that way from Charu, the next seat is Arun’s. So Arun is to the left of Charu.
