Five boys, Gaurav, Kapil, Piyush, Rohit and Tushar, are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Rohit is third to the left of Kapil. Piyush and Gaurav are the immediate neighbours of Kapil. Tushar is to the immediate left of Piyush.
Who is sitting second to the right of Piyush?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Gaurav
Facing the centre, moving to a person’s left means moving clockwise and moving to the right means moving anticlockwise. Number the seats 1 to 5 clockwise.
Put Kapil in seat 1. Rohit is third to his left: Rohit in seat 4
Kapil’s neighbours are seats 2 and 5, so Piyush and Gaurav take seats 2 and 5
Tushar is to the immediate left of Piyush, one seat clockwise of him. If Piyush were in seat 5, that seat would be seat 1 (Kapil’s). So Piyush is in seat 2, Tushar in seat 3 and Gaurav in seat 5
Second to the right of Piyush means two seats anticlockwise from seat 2: seat 1 (Kapil), then seat 5: Gaurav
