Six persons, J, K, L, M, N and O, are sitting in a circle, facing the centre. J is between N and O. N is opposite M. L is not in either of the seats next to N.
Who is opposite K?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
The correct answer is Option (2) → O
With six seats round a circle, the person opposite is three seats away. Number the seats 1 to 6 clockwise.
J is between N and O: put N in seat 1, J in seat 2 and O in seat 3 (the mirror order gives the same opposite pairs)
M is opposite N: M in seat 4
Seats 5 and 6 are left for K and L. Seat 6 is next to N, and L is not next to N, so L is in seat 5 and K in seat 6
Opposite seat 6 is seat 3: O
