Six persons, Hari, Indu, Jatin, Kavya, Nitin and Ojasvi, are sitting in a circle, facing the centre. Indu sits opposite Hari. Jatin sits to the immediate left of Hari. Kavya does not sit next to Indu. Nitin sits to the immediate right of Indu.
Who sits opposite Jatin?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 4
The correct answer is Option (4) → Ojasvi
Facing the centre, a person’s left is the next seat clockwise and the right is the next seat anticlockwise. With six seats, each seat has one seat directly opposite it. Number the seats 1 to 6 clockwise.
Put Hari in seat 1; Indu is opposite, in seat 4
Jatin is to the immediate left of Hari: seat 2. Nitin is to the immediate right of Indu: seat 3
Seats 5 and 6 are left for Kavya and Ojasvi. Seat 5 is next to Indu, and Kavya is not next to Indu, so Kavya is in seat 6 and Ojasvi in seat 5
Seat 2 is opposite seat 5, so the person opposite Jatin is Ojasvi
