Five students are standing in a circle and they are facing the centre of circle. Ajay is between Amar and Aman. Alok is on the left of Amit. Amar is on the immediate left of Alok. Who is sitting immediate right of Ajay:
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → Amar
For people sitting round a circle and facing the centre, a person’s left is the next seat clockwise and the right is the next seat anticlockwise (seen from above).
Amar is on the immediate left of Alok, so going clockwise Alok is followed by Amar.
Ajay is between Amar and Aman. The seat anticlockwise of Amar is Alok’s, so Ajay sits next to Amar clockwise and Aman next to Ajay: Alok, Amar, Ajay, Aman.
The fifth seat, between Aman and Alok, is Amit’s. Going clockwise, Amit is followed by Alok, so Alok is on Amit’s left, as the question says.
Clockwise order: Amit, Alok, Amar, Ajay, Aman. The seat anticlockwise of Ajay, his immediate right, is Amar.
Tip: If the people sat facing away from the centre, left and right would swap: the left would then be the next seat anticlockwise.
