Sitting Arrangement

Question:

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

Options:

Aakash 

Ram 

Anil 

Kamal 

Correct Answer:

Aakash 

Explanation:

Six teachers are sitting around a circular table, let the positions be numbered 1-6:

1. Ram is third to the right of Vivek. Vivek is second to the right of Anil.

⇒ Let Vivek be at position 1, then Ram is at 4 and Anil at 3.

2. Aakash is to the immediate right of Anil. Kamal is not the immediate neighbour of Vivek.

⇒ Since Anil sits at position 3, Aakash is at position 2. Kamal cannot be placed at 6, then he sits at 5.

Sanjay occupies the remaining position.

Aakash is second to the left of Sanjay.
