Question:

Six friends Anu, Ankita, Asha, Amy, Anveshi and Aisha are sitting around a circular table facing each other. Anu sits to the immediate left of Ankita. Amy sits exactly between Asha and Aisha. Aisha does not sit adjacent to Anveshi who sits second to the right of Anu. Who sits to the immediate right of Ankita?

Options:

Amy 

Asha 

Aisha 

Anveshi

Correct Answer:

Anveshi

Explanation:

Let the sitting positions around the table be numbered 1-6:

1. Anu sits to the immediate left of Ankita.

⇒ If Ankita sits at position 1, Anu will sit at position 2.

2. Aisha does not sit adjacent to Anveshi who sits second to the right of Anu.

⇒ Anveshi sits at position 6.

3. Amy sits exactly between Asha and Aisha. Aisha does not sit adjacent to Anvesha.

⇒ Aisha cannot be placed at 5, thus she is placed at position 3. The position of others are:

Anveshi sits to the immediate right of Ankita.
