Five students are standing in a circle and all are facing towards the centre of the circle. Apurva is on the left of Abhishek. Alok is on the left of Apurva. Abhinav is between Alok and Ankur. Who is standing next to Abhinav on his immediate right?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Alok
For people standing round a circle and facing the centre, a person’s left is the next place clockwise and the right is the next place anticlockwise (seen from above).
Apurva is on the left of Abhishek, so going clockwise Abhishek is followed by Apurva.
Alok is on the left of Apurva, so Alok comes next clockwise: Abhishek, Apurva, Alok.
Abhinav is between Alok and Ankur. The place anticlockwise of Alok is Apurva’s, so Abhinav takes the next place clockwise of Alok, and Ankur the fifth place, between Abhinav and Abhishek.
The place anticlockwise of Abhinav, his immediate right, is Alok.
