Read the information given below carefully and answer the question that follows: I. A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting around a circular table though not necessarily in the same order and each of them is facing to the center; Starting from A, what would be the clockwise order of sitting around the table? |
ADCFEB AEBFCD ACDFBE ADCFBE |
ADCFBE |
The correct answer is Option (4) → ADCFBE Let positions around the circular table be numbered as 1 to 6 clockwise. Each person faces the center, so left is clockwise, and right is counterclockwise. From (III): C is third to the left of E → C is 3 positions clockwise from E. From (IV): F is to the immediate right of B → F is immediately counterclockwise from B. From (V): D is to the right of B, separated by two persons → D is 3 positions counterclockwise from B. From (II): A is the only one sitting between D and E → D-A-E or E-A-D. Try assigning:
Final seating positions (clockwise): Position 1: E Position 2: A Position 3: D Position 4: C Position 5: F Position 6: B Clockwise order starting from A: ${A,\ D,\ C,\ F,\ B,\ E}$ |
