Six cousins, Arnav, Bhavya, Chandni, Daksh, Eshaan and Falak, are sitting around a round table, facing the centre. Daksh sits second to the right of Arnav. Falak sits to the immediate right of Arnav. Chandni sits opposite Falak. Eshaan is not a neighbour of Arnav.
If we start from Falak and count towards her left, how many cousins sit between Falak and Eshaan?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → 3
Facing the centre, a person’s left is the next seat clockwise and the right is the next seat anticlockwise. Number the seats 1 to 6 clockwise.
Put Arnav in seat 1. Falak is to his immediate right: seat 6. Daksh is second to his right: seat 5
Chandni is opposite Falak: seat 3
Seats 2 and 4 are left for Bhavya and Eshaan. Seat 2 is next to Arnav, so Eshaan is in seat 4 and Bhavya in seat 2
Clockwise: Arnav, Bhavya, Chandni, Eshaan, Daksh, Falak
Counting to the left of Falak means going clockwise from seat 6: Arnav, Bhavya, Chandni, then Eshaan. So 3 cousins sit between them
(Counting the other way, to Falak’s right, only Daksh sits between them.)
