Six actors, Ram, Shyam, Meena, Tina, Shalu and Saloni, are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Saloni is second to the left of Meena. Shyam is second to the right of Ram. Shalu is to the immediate left of Saloni.
Who is sitting to the immediate right of Shyam?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Tina
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 6 clockwise.
Put Meena in seat 1. Saloni is second to her left: Saloni in seat 3
Shalu is to the immediate left of Saloni: Shalu in seat 4
Seats 2, 5 and 6 are left for Ram, Shyam and Tina. Shyam is second to the right of Ram, so Shyam is two seats anticlockwise of Ram
Ram in seat 5 would put Shyam in seat 3 (Saloni’s), and Ram in seat 6 would put Shyam in seat 4 (Shalu’s). So Ram is in seat 2 and Shyam in seat 6
Tina takes the last seat, seat 5
Shyam’s immediate right is the seat just anticlockwise of seat 6, seat 5: Tina
