Six friends, Kiran, Lokesh, Mitali, Nikhil, Omkar and Pallavi, are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. Pallavi is to the immediate left of Mitali, and Nikhil is to the immediate right of Mitali. Kiran sits between Pallavi and Omkar, and Omkar sits between Kiran and Lokesh.
Who is sitting to the immediate left of Omkar?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Lokesh
Facing the centre, a person’s left is the next seat clockwise and the right is the next seat anticlockwise. Each “between” clue gives a person’s two neighbours, so the clues join into one chain.
Clockwise from Mitali: Pallavi is the next seat (her left), and Nikhil is the seat before her (her right)
Kiran is between Pallavi and Omkar, so going on clockwise after Pallavi come Kiran, then Omkar
Omkar is between Kiran and Lokesh, so Lokesh comes next, and the circle closes at Nikhil
Clockwise: Mitali, Pallavi, Kiran, Omkar, Lokesh, Nikhil
The immediate left of Omkar is the next seat clockwise: Lokesh
