Sitting Arrangement

Question:

Seven boys Ram, Sumit, Sunil, Rahul, Raj, Aman and Amit are sitting around a circular table facing towards the centre(not necessarily in the same order). Raj is second to the right of Aman. Sunil is third to the left of Aman. Ram is not the immediate neighnour of Aman. Amit is second to the right of Ram. Rahul is not the immediate neighbour of Amit. Who is third to the left of Sumit?

Options:

Rahul

Raj

Sunil

Ram

Correct Answer:

Ram

Explanation:

The step by step making of the arrangement is - 

Using the first two clues - Raj is second to the right of Aman. Sunil is third to the left of Aman.

We place Aman at position 1,

Ram is not the immediate neighnour of Aman. Amit is second to the right of Ram. Rahul is not the immediate neighbour of Amit

⇒ Ram cannot be placed at 2 or 7, thus he is placed at 5 and Rahul is placed at 7.

We place Sumit in the last vacant position, i.e. 2

Thus, the complete arrangement is - 

Third to the left of Sumit is Ram, at position 5.
