Who is sitting at the 2nd place to the left of Zain?

Options:

Vedant

Hemant

Yuvati

Arun

Correct Answer:

Hemant

Explanation:

Case 1 :

a) Yuvati at one corner

b) Hemant at the 4th left of Yuvati, as there is not left position in this case, so this pattern will not be followed.

Case 2 :

a)     Yuvati at one corner

b)     Hemant is at 4th left of Yuvati

c) Gori is 4th left of Arun. Let Arun sit at 1st left of Yuvati

d) Because Gori is at 4th left of Arun, this is possible in only that position of Arun

e) Zain is 3rd to right of Gori

f) Only one position left for Vedant

=  at 2nd left of Zain is Hemant
