With the hint that No one is to the left of A, it is clear that A sits at
position no. 1 i.e. extreme left end and is the boy that sits at odd
number position. Rest of the boys will sit at even numbered places.
The second hint thus confirms P to be sitting at extreme right end and
he is also a boy. Thus the position at extreme left end must be an even
number.
Using all the hints we can identify that there are 12 persons in the row,
out of which 6 must be boys and 6 must be girls.
With the hint that H is a girl and is adjacent to X, position of H can be

sitting around a square table such that four persons sits on the fours corner
the table facing towards the center and the rest of the four persons sits on
the middle of the sides facing away from the centre.
Inference:
Reference:
Only two persons sit between Mrig and Shera, who sits immediate left of
Nora.
Inference:
Here, we have two possible scenarios, in which we can use the above hints
accordingly.
Case 1: Case 2:
Here, we will make a mental note that only two persons sit between Mrig
and Shera.
Reference:
Anup sits second to the left of Heer, who sits third left of Gaur.
Inference:
Case 1: Case 2:
Initially, we have a hint that only two persons sit between Mrig and Shera
at this point we cannot fix the position of Mrig according the hint in case 1.
So, we can say that case 1 is an invalid case.
Case 2:
At this point we can easily fix the position of Doha in case 2. Then,
Case 2:
Answers:
86.
Following the final solution we can say that Shera sits in front of Anup.
87.
Following the final solution we can say that only one person sit between
Rani and Shera, when counted from the right of Shera.
88.
Following the final solution and applying the given condition we have:
Here, we can see that position of only persons i.e. Rani is unchanged
excluding Anup.
89.
Following the final solution we can say that Anup sits third to the left of
Doha.
90.
Following the final solution we can say that Gaur sits second to the right of
Mrig.

In row-1 Sriram, Tushar, Uma, Vivek, Wasim and Xanil are seated and all of
them are facing south direction.
In row-2, Mano, Nirmal, Oviya, Parthiv, Queen and Ranjith are seated and
all of them are facing north direction.
Only two people sit between Tushar and the one who likes Dhanush.
Nirmal sits second to the left of the one who faces the one who likes
Dhanush.
Inferences:
• Tushar sits either extreme right end or left end of Row-1. So we get two
possibilities.
• Remaining all the above statements are directly given and can be filled
with respect to Tushar's position.
• Nirmal sits second to the left of the one who faces the one who likes
Dhanush. Here, Nirmal sits 2nd from left end in Row-2 [Case: 1] & Nirmal
sits extreme left end in Row-2 [Case: 2]
Case: 1

Parthiv sits second to the right of the one who likes Jeeva.
Inferences:
• In Case-1, Parthiv sits at extreme right end and Ranjith sits on the
immediate left of Oviya. With respective to above 3 statements, Ranjith
likes Karthi, Oviya likes Jeeva and Parthiv likes Vijay.
References:
Only three people sit between the ones who like Prasanth and Rajni.
Inferences:
• Vivek sits in the row-1 & faces south direction. Therefore the ones who
like Prasanth and Rajni come in row-2 & face north direction.
• In Case-1, Vivek must sit at 2nd from left end in row-1, by this the one
who like Rajni comes at extreme left end of Row-2 (Only possibility as per
condition)
• In Case-2, There is no place for Prasanth and Rajni with 3 gaps in Row-2.
Hence this case can be eliminated as shown in seating.
Case: 2 [If Tushar at extreme left end] [Eliminated]

One of the immediate neighbors of Mano is Parthiv and Parthiv faces the
one who likes Arya as per given statement.
• Finally, Queen (last person in row-2) sits at extreme left end and likes
Rajni. Thus we get the following seating.
References:
Only three people sit between the one who like Vikram and Prabhu
respectively.
Inferences:
• In Row-1, Tushar likes Vikram and Vivek likes Prabhu (Only possibility with
respect to the condition)
• Tushar and Uma & Uma and Vivek can’t be the neighbors (consecutive
alphabetic name) as per condition. Therefore Uma sits second to the left of
Tushar.
• The one who likes Kamal sits to the immediate right of Sriram. Here,
Sriram likes the actor Dhanush & Uma likes the actor Kamal.
• Finally, Xanil (last person in row-1) sits at extreme left end and likes the
actor Arya.

Common explanation
Reference:
The total number of rows does not exceed 7 and the total number of seats
was five times the total number of rows.
The number of persons to the right of Hema who was at seat number 3 in
the row number 5 was 1 more than the total number of rows.
Tina was seated at the left most seat in the last row, which was not prime
numbered.
Inference:
With reference to the first three hints it is clear that the total number of
rows was a composite more than 5 but less than 7.
So, the total number of rows will be 6 and total number of seats will be 30.
Mihir’s row number and seat number were same and it was an even prime
number.
Total number of persons in the top 3 farthest rows (from screen) was equal
to 18.
Inference:
The only even prime number from 1 to 6 is 2, So, Mihir’s row number and
seat number will be 2.
Sum of the seats in row number 5 and 6 is 15, thus there must be only 3
seats in row 4.

Inference:
As total number of persons in row 4 are 3, so as per the second hint total
number of persons in row 1 would be 9 and Kavya sits at seat number 9.
The only odd numbered row from 1 to 3 except row 1 is row 3, thus Shagun

Note: If two people facing each other in circular seating means, equal
number of seats should be there on either side of that people. From
3rd reference point, we conclude that either 8 or 10 or 12 people maximum
sit around the circular table.
Let the position of people around the circular table are numbered as 1 to
8/10/12 in clock wise direction.
References:
Given, Sriman is facing Lokesh. Lokesh sits fourth to the right of Chahal.
Tahir and Pravin sit at 1st and 7th position respectively. Akhil sits at
3rd position (reference point-1)
Then there is no place for Sriman, Lokesh and Chahal as per condition.
Hence this case become invalid and it can be eliminated.
Tahir and Pravin sit at 1st and 9th position respectively. Akhil sits at
4th position (reference point-1)
Lokesh, Chahal and Sriman sit at 2nd, 6th and 7th position respectively (only
possibility, reference point-2 & 3)
Tahir and Pravin sit at 1st and 11th position respectively. Akhil sits at
5th position (reference point-1)
With respect 2nd and 3rd reference point we get two possibilities as shown,
Lokesh, Chahal and Sriman sit at 3rd, 7th and 9th position respectively
(1st possibility, Case-3)
Lokesh, Chahal and Sriman sit at 2nd, 6th and 8th position respectively
(2nd possibility, Case-3-A)
The person, who is sitting four places away from Tahir, is not immediate
neighbor of Chahal.
Manoj, who is sitting seven places away from Tahir, is not immediate
neighbor of Akhil.
Inferences:
As per 1st reference point, people who sit at 5th and 7th position [4 places
away from Tahir on either side] are not the neighbor of Chahal. But in this
arrangement Chahal sit at 6th position i.e. Chahal is neighbor of both 5th and
7th position. Hence this case become invalid and it can be eliminated.
Manoj is sitting seven places away from Tahir. It means there are six people
sit between Manoj and Tahir. Manoj is not the neighbor of Akhil.
Here, if Manoj is seated at a gap of 6 people to the right of Tahir, then
Manoj is the neighbor of Akhil which is no possible as per condition.
In this case-3-A, if we count left of Tahir, Akhil sits 4 places away from Tahir
and Akhil is the immediate neighbor of Chahal which is not possible as per
1st reference point. Hence this case become invalid and it can be
eliminated.

Common explanation
Reference:
Inference:
With reference to the last two hints, we can conclude that Esha is daughter
of Hina and Charu both, since Hina is female, so Charu would be male.
Bihu belongs to third generation and is a male, that signifies that Bihu is the
son of Charu and Hina, because from the given relations, ‘son’ is the only
relation that denotes male from third generation.
Reference:
Geet sits immediate right of Hina.
Inference:
Reference:
Only one person sits between Farah, who is the son of Geet and Anil.
Inference:
As no female can sit adjacent to Bihu, thus the only place left for Disha is
second to the left of Bihu.
Thus with reference to second hint, Geet is Hina’s mother and sits
immediate left of Disha.
Position of Farah and Anil can be fixed as immediate right and left of Bihu.
Answers:
131.
If Hina's brother (Farah) sits immediate right of Bihu then Hina's mother
(Geet) sits second to the left of Anil.
132.
133.
134.
In the Following Common explanation it is clear that Geet sits third to the
right of person who sits opposite to disha.
Hence, option C is correct.

Common explanation
Reference:
H(24) > C(68) > F(74) > B(31) > A(79) > D(20) > E(52) > G(82)
Inference:
Reference:
The second highest ranked soldier was sitting opposite to the one who
killed the highest number of terrorists.
A is neither adjacent to the one whose rank is the lowest nor to the one
whose rank is the second highest.
Inference:
The second highest ranked soldier is C and the one who killed the highest
number of terrorists is G, thus, C and G sit opposite to each other.
As per the second hint we have only two positions left for A as shown in
Case 1 and Case2.
Reference:
The one who killed the fourth lowest number of terrorists was sitting
between G and the one who was third highest ranked.
F was immediate right of the soldier who was third lowest in rank.
Inference:
The one who killed fourth lowest number of terrorists is E and the one who
is third highest ranked is F.
Case 2 fails here, as there is no place for D to sit as per the second hint.
Reference:
D and the one whose number of terrorists killed is a prime number were
sitting opposite to each other.
Inference:
There are two terrorists whose number of terrorists killed is prime number
viz. B (31) and A (79).
The only vacant place is occupied by H. Thus the final seating arrangement
looks like below.
Answers:
136.
E (the one whose rank is second lowest) was third to the left of the one
who killed second highest number of terrorists i.e. A.
A-F is the odd one out as F is fourth to the right of A, whereas in all other
options the second person is third to the right of first person.
138.
The one who killed second lowest number of terrorists i.e. H sits opposite
to E.
139.
H sits adjacent to the one who killed lowest number of terrorists is false
statement.
140.
C and F are the immediate neighbours of the one who killed the lowest
number of terrorists i.e. D.
Common explanation
Reference:
(b) The person from Banking and G are opposite each other. H is not from
Banking.
(e) H who is not from Medicine is the neighbour of the persons from Army
and Software.
Inference:
Following two are the possible cases in which the above hints can be used.
Reference:
(a) B and the person from Teaching are adjacent to each other and one
among them sits at one of the ends.
(c) Either C or the person from Navy sits at one of the ends and both sit in
the different rows.
Inference:
Here we can see that in both the cases , C is sitting at an extreme end and
only one out of C and the one who works in Navy sits at one of the extreme
ends.
Thus the one related to Navy will sit in the middle of the row where people
are facing south because his/her row is different from that of C.
As we can see that there are no two adjacent vacant seats in the row facing
North, thus B and the person from teaching will sit in the other row in case
1 and vice versa in case 2.
Reference:
(f) The person from Business who is not D is adjacent to A and opposite E,
who faces north.
Inference:
Answers:
141.
142.
The following Common explanation, we get "The person from Teaching, E".
The person from Teaching, E are at the ends of the row among the given

"The person whose age is in even number faces inside the circle and the
person whose age is in odd number faces outside the circle." We will use
this hint throughout the explanation.
Padmesh age was not known, thus either he faces inside or outside the

is Udvita.
Thus Udvita and the other person both face outside as both the ages are
odd numbers.

Since, there is no place for Yatin to sit in both case 1 and case 2A, these got
eliminated.
In case: 1-B & Case: 2-B. Udvita's second left is Quincy. Thus, Quincy's age is
25 (Odd numbered age & Quincy faces outside in both cases).
Rachna is 3 years younger than Wimal, but not the youngest person in the
group.
Two persons sit between the one who is the youngest and Udvita.
Inferences
Thus, Padmesh must face inside the circle. By this Case-2-B gets
eliminated.
Rachna is 3 years younger than Wimal, but not the youngest person in the
group. Here, Rachna is not the youngest person i.e. (17 years) in the group.
Then the remaining person Xavier is the youngest person in the group.
(Note: Yatin age = 22 & given, No two persons have same age.). Hence
Wimal is not 22 years old.
Therefore, Rachna's age is 33 (odd number) & faces outside the circle and
Udvita is 19 years old.

to the left of Francis is also 2. Then, Govind likes Oppo and Chandra likes
Vivo. Then Bala must like Moto (Bala doesn’t like Oppo or Asus).
With the last hint we know that two vacant seats can't face each other, so
the only left person Ashwin must face the vacant seat of row 2. So, the first
and second vacant seats are there in the row 2, but there should be a total
of 3 vacant seats as only 9 people are sitting, thus the third vacant seat is
beside Ashwin, which will violate the 2nd reference point.
Both the vacant seats should be adjacent to Govind, with reference to the
3rd reference point which says that Govind is an immediate neighbor of
vacant seats.
Case: 1-B: To satisfy the reference point-1, Francis must like Asus; by this
number of persons to the right of Edwin is 2. Therefore number of persons
to the left of Francis is also 2. Then, Govind likes Oppo and Chandra likes
Vivo. Then Bala must like Moto (Bala doesn’t like Oppo or Asus).
Neither vacant seats are facing each other nor Ashwin is a neighbor of
vacant seat. All the conditions are satisfied.
If we observe the case-2-A & Case-2-B 8 seats are occupied either with
person or mobile and the remaining one seat is filled by Ashwin, who likes
Micromax phone. From this we clearly understood that, Bala, Govind,
Chandra and Francis must like Oppo, Vivo, Asus and Moto but not
necessarily in the same order. I.e. No new seats can be occupied by these
4 persons
Chandra sits right of Govind and both are facing north direction. Govind is
an immediate neighbor of vacant seats. But in both the cases only one seat
can be filled by either Chandra or Govind. If Chandra or Govind sit in a new
place in Row-2 (a seat which is not occupied by mobile phone), then total
seats exceed 9 which is not possible. Hence both the following cases can be
eliminated.
Clearly, only case 1-B satisfies all the given hints, thus the final
arrangement will be obtained through Case 1-B.

Common explanations
Reference:
B, D, F and H are sitting in row-I facing North and A, C, E and G are sitting in
row-2 facing South (but not necessarily in the same order).
Inference:
The only even prime number from 1 to 8 is 2. So, G lives on second (2nd)

D, sits at the left end of the row and lives on the 6th floor.
The person who lives on 3rd floor sits between D and the person who lives

Below floor and linear arrangement can be obtained from the above hints.
Floor Person

Since the person who lives on 3rd floor sits between D and F, thus B who

And the only person left in Row-I i.e. 'H lives on third floor.
Row- II

Row- I

Reference:
G sits opposite to F.
The person who lives on the first floor is not the neighbour of G in the row.
Inference:
It means E and C can't live on the first floor. Therefore, C would be living on
the 7th floor.
Now only two floors are left i.e. 1 and 5, as E also can't live on 1st floor , so
E must be living on 5th floor and A lives on 1st floor.

Common explanation
Reference:
Each of them was related to Preet in some manner: Mother, Father, Sister,
Wife and Brother. They were seated in a row, facing east. They were aged
differently. It is known that any child and his/her spouse would be younger
to his/her parents. Any husband would not necessarily be elder to his wife.
Inference:
Reference:
Daya was seated at one of the extreme ends at a gap of 3 from Preet's
father.
Preet's father was to the immediate right of the one who was 30 years old.
The one who was 34 years old was neighboring Daya.
Inference:
Here, we have two possible scenarios in which we can use the above hints
accordingly.
Case 1:
Case 2:
Daya was at the extreme right end.
Reference:
Geet was 29 years old and was to the immediate left of Preet's brother.
Inference:
Using the above hints, we can say that Geet, who is 29 years old, cannot be
the Preet’s father as he cannot be younger than Preet’s wife, who is 32
years old.
Case 1:
At this point we cannot place Geet in the above scenario. So, we can say
that the case 1 is an invalid case.
Case 2:
Reference:
With the help of above hints we can figure out the position of all the
persons in the row.
Case 2:
Reference:
Inference:
Using the above hints we can say that Daya cannot be the Preet’s wife as
her age is more than 33 years and we know that Preet’s wife is 32 years old.
So, at this point Moni must be the Preet’s wife and Daya is Preet’s mother.
As we already figured out that the age of Preet’s wife i.e. Moni is 32 years.
So, the age of Daya will be 32 + 33 = 65 years.
Case 2:
Answers:
166.
Following the final solution we can say that Preet’s sister, who is 29 years
old is the youngest is the family.
167.
Following the final solution we can say that the ages of the persons sitting
at the extreme ends were 30 years and 65 years.
168.
Following the final solution we can say that Preet’s wife was third to the left
of eldest person in the family i.e. Daya.
169.
Following the final solution we can say that Geet is sister of Preet.
170.
Following the final solution we can say that Preet sits second to left of Geet
if Geet changes her/his position with Moni.

Inferences:
From above two cases, we see that Vitna sits opposite to Rs.6000
Given, thrice the amount (3 times) of Vitna sits opposite to Vitna. Only
amount to get 3 times is Rs.2000
So clearly, Vitna has Rs.2000 and sits opposite to the one who has (3 × 2000
= Rs.6000)
Case 1 Case 2
References:
There are as many person(s) sitting between the one who has the lowest
amount to deposit and Vitna as sitting between Neaha and Anab.
The one who has amount 7000 to deposit sits immediate left of Anab.
The sum of the amount deposited by Anab and Vitna is equal to the
amount deposited by Takbir, whose amount is multiple of 6.
Inferences:
No one sits between Pakija (lowest amount) and Vitna. No one sits between
Neaha and Anab.
Thus Anab sits immediate right of Neaha (in Case 1) and Anab sits
immediate left of Neaha (case 2).
The one who has amount 7000 to deposit sits immediate left of Anab.
*Clearly, Anab doesn’t have Rs7000 to deposit in the account].
Anab= Rs 7000 (not possible), as one who has amount 7000 to deposit sits
immediate left of Anab.
If Anab =6000, Vitna =2000 Then Takbir = 6000+2000 = 8000 (not multiple
of 6, so not possible)
If Anab=9000, Vitna = 2000 Then Takbir = 9000 + 2000 =11000 (not multiple
of 6, so not possible)
If Anab= 4000, Vitna =2000 then Takbir =4000 + 2000 = 6000 (multiple of

Three persons sit between R and the one who likes Dravid, both of them
face each other.
Inferences:
R and the one who likes Dravid are sitting opposite to each other and both
are facing inside the circle.
R sits second to the left of V who likes Yuvraj. Here, V faces either inside or
outside the circle. Thus we get two possibilities as shown in initial seating.
Case: 1 Case: 2
References:
Two persons sit between the one who likes Dravid and U.
Immediate neighbors of U face opposite to each other (If one facing the
center other facing away from the center or vice versa).
Inferences:
Two persons sit between the one who like Dravid and U. Also, Q and U are
immediate neighbors. W likes Ganguly sits third to the right of Q.
Case: 1 Case: 2
References:
The ones who like Virat and Dhoni sit opposite to each other, both of them
are facing away from the center.
The one who likes Dhawan sits to the immediate right of the one who likes
Dhoni.
Inferences:
In case-1, there is no place for T and P (two places together and one of
them is an immediate neighbor of V). Therefore this case become invalid
and it can be eliminated.
References:
Not more than two persons facing same direction sit together.
Inferences:
Note: Either T or P likes either Virat or Dravid. Thus we get the completed
seating as shown below.

Common explanation
Reference:
Seven persons – Mani, Basu, Shiv, Teer, Jadu, Pari and Ramu, were sitting in
a straight line, facing towards north. These persons were born in different
years – 1975, 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1996 and 1999, but not necessarily in
same order. There persons were born in different cities – Mandi, Jaipur,
Agra, Ajmer, Noida, Jhansi and Pune, but not necessarily in same order.
Inference:
Reference:
Person who was born in 1986 in Ajmer was sitting on the extreme right end
of the row.
At most three persons were sitting on the left of Mani, who was born in a
leap year.
Three persons were sitting between Mani and Shiv, who was born in 1975.
Inference:
Here, there is only one leap year i.e. 1996 in all the given years.
At this point there are two possible scenarios in which the above hints can
be used.
Case 1:
Case 2:
Reference:
Only 1 person was born between person who was sitting on the immediate
left of Shiv and the person who was sitting in the middle of the row.
Inference:
At this point we cannot use the above hints in case 2 because the person
who was sitting on the immediate left of Shiv and the person who was
sitting in the middle of the row are same in case 2 so we can say that case 2
is an invalid case.
Case 1-A:
Case 1-B:
Reference:
Pari, who was born after Teer, was sitting on the left of Teer, who was born
in Mandi.
Teer wasn’t sitting third from the left end of the row.
Inference:
Here, we can say that Pari wasn’t born in 1991; also Pari can’t be born in
1999 and 1986 under the given conditions. So, the possible birth years of
Pari are 1982 and 1989.
If Pari was born in 1982 then we have no possible birth year for Teer, as it is
given that Pari was born after Teer. So we can surely say that Pari wasn’t
born in 1982.
Now, if Pari was born in 1989 then only possible birth year for Teer is 1982,
as it is given that Pari was born after Teer. So we can surely say that Teer
was born in 1982 and Pari was born in 1989.
At this point we cannot fix the position of Pari and Teer in case 1-B under
the conditions so we can say that case 1-B is an invalid case.
Here, we have two possible scenarios in which above hints can be used in
case 1-A accordingly.
Two persons were born between the persons who were born in Noida and
Agra.
Basu, who was born in Jhansi, was sitting on the left of the person born in
Jaipur.
Inference:
Here, we cannot fix the position of Basu in Case 1-A (i) according to the
given hints so we can say that Case 1-A (i) is an invalid case.
Answers:
211.
Following the final solution we can say that the one born in 1989 was sitting
in the middle of the row.
212.
Following the final solution we can say that Shiv – 1975 – Agra is the correct
combination.
Hence, the correct answer is option D.
213.
Following the final solution we can say that one person was sitting between
Jadu and Teer.
214.
Following the final solution we can say that Basu was sitting on the extreme
left end of the row.
215.
Following the final solution we can say that the one born on 1982 second to
the left of Ramu.
Common explanation
Reference:
Eight persons – Ankit, Ankush, Amjad, Akash, Akshay, Ashish, Ashad and
Arman, were sitting around a circular table, facing towards the centre.
These persons were playing cards and have won a different amount of
money.
Inference:
Reference:
The person sitting opposite to Amjad won Rs. 60 which is half of the sum of
the amount won by the ones, who won the highest and the lowest amount
of money.
Inference:
Here, we can say that the least amount can be won by any of these persons
was Rs. 20. And, it is also given that one of the persons Rs. 20, it means Rs.
20 is the least amount won by these person.
We have,
Here, we will make note that the highest amount won was Rs.
Reference:
Amjad was sitting neighboring Ankush and Ashish and won Rs. 40.
Ankush was sitting third to the right of the person, who won the highest
amount.
Ankit was sitting exactly opposite to the one, who won the highest amount.
Inference:
Reference:
Akash won Rs. 80, and was not an immediate neighbour of the one who
won highest amount of money.
Ankush and his neighbours and the person sitting opposite to him did not
win the least amount of money.
The person, who was sitting opposite to the person neighboring Ankit, won
Rs. 30.
Inference:
Reference:
The sum of the amount won by Ankit and his neighbors was Rs. 200.
Inference:
At this point we can say that either Ankush or Ankit won Rs. 50.
Let’s assume that one among Ankit and Ankush won Rs. X and other won
Rs. 50.
∴ X = Rs. 70
After using the above hints, we can say that Ankush won Rs. 70 and Ankit
won Rs. 50.
Reference:
Sum of the money won by Ashad and Arman was more than the money
won by Ankush but less than the one who won the highest amount.
Inference:
At this point we can easily fix the position of Akshay and can say that
Akshay won the highest amount.
Answers:
216.
Following the final solution, we can say that none of the persons were
sitting between the ones who won the highest amount and the least
amount, when counted from the left of the one who won the least amount.
217.
Following the final solution, we can say that the amount won by one, who
was second to the right of the one, who won the least amount is Rs. 70.
218.
Following the final solution, we can say that the amount won by Akash and
Ankush was Rs. 80 and Rs. 70 respectively.
Here, we can see that none of the persons won Rs. 10.
219.
Following the final solution, we can say that Ankit was sitting third to the
right of the one who won the least amount.
220.
Following the final solution, we can say that Akshay won highest amount of
money.
Common explanation
References:
Anvita is sitting second to the right of the one who likes Botany and the one
who is sitting at corner of the table.
There are three persons between the one who like Botany and Aadvika.
The one who likes Physics sits third to the right of Anvita. Anvita sits third to
the right of the one who like Physics subject.
Aadvika sits third to the right of Ashwika, who like Chemistry subject.
Inferences:
From the 1st reference point, we observe that, Anvita must sit at corner of
the table, by this all the above 5 reference points get placed as per the
given condition.
Thus we get the following initial seating as shown,
References:
1. The one who likes Zoology sits exactly opposite to the one who likes
Chemistry.
2. Artika sits exactly opposite to the one who likes Maths subject.
3. The one who like Hindi subject is sitting exactly opposite to the one who
is immediate left of the one who like English subject.
4. The number of people sits between the one who like English subject and
the one who like History subject count in anti-clockwise direction from the
one who like English subject is one more than the number of people sit
between the one who like Maths subject and the one who like Hindi subject
count in anti-clockwise direction from the one who like Hindi subject.
Inferences:
With reference to 1st and 2nd point we get two cases as shown in seating.
Before placing the hints based on 3rd point, just observe the 4th point i.e.
Case-1: The above only possibility is obtained by placing, the one who like
Hindi is on the immediate right of Ashwika and the one who like English is
on the 2nd left of Ashwika.
Case-2: The one who like Hindi and the one like English can’t sit opposite to
each other as per statement (Refer Point-3). Hence this case can be
eliminated.
References:
Anvita and Advita face opposite direction and Ankita sits third to the right
of Advita.
Anaika is facing inside the table and not an immediate neighbor of the one
who likes Hindi.
Inferences:
Anvita faces outside the table and then Advita faces inside the table.
Ankita (likes Botany) sits third to the right of Advita (likes Zoology).
Finally, Anaika likes English & Asvitha likes Physics subject.

nor Faneesh sits at the extreme ends of the line.
Baadal, who is a teacher likes Green color and sits on the immediate left of
Avdhesh. Avdhesh does not like either Blue or Yellow color.
Inference:
Now, two cases arise again while fulfilling conditions for Faneesh and
Avdhesh.
Case 1
Case 2
Reference:
Inference:
As, there is no place left for Eshan to sit in case 2, so it fails here:
Reference:
One person is sitting between Harshit and Chaand, Harshit likes orange
color. Chaand, who is a pilot, likes Red color.
Inference:
Note: As, Avdhesh does not like Blue and Yellow color so he must be the
one who likes Black color.
Hence, Dinesh must be the one who likes Yellow color and Faneesh likes
Blue color.

Common explanation
References:
One who sits immediate left of X likes Yamuna River and faces inside the
circle.
Inferences:
Therefore, E faces inside the circle. Given, Both D and E are facing same
direction.
C sits opposite to Y who sits to the immediate right of D and both are facing
each other.
The one who likes Ganga River doesn’t sit to the immediate right of E.
Inferences:
Given, C and Y are facing each other i.e. faces inside the circle. Y sits to the
immediate right of D.
References:
The one who likes Mahanadi River sits second to the right of the one who
likes Saraswati River.
The one who like Godavari River faces the one who like Mahanadi River.
Inferences:
Case 1: If Z sits to the immediate left of C, then G (likes Saraswati River) sits
to the immediate right of Y and faces outside the circle. Also, H sits to the
immediate left of X i.e. two persons sit between G and H.
Now as per statement, D likes Mahanadi River sits second to the right of G,
who likes Saraswati River. Finally, D faces Z as per seating. Here, Z likes
Godavari River and faces outside the circle which violates the given
statement i.e. one who like Godavari River and one who like Mahanadi
River is sitting opposite to each other and faces inside the circle. Hence this
case become invalid and it can be eliminated.
Case: 1 [Eliminated]
Case 2: If Z sits to the immediate right of Y and likes Saraswati River. Then,
G sits to the immediate left of C and faces inside the circle. Also, H sits to
the immediate left of X i.e. two persons sit between G and H.
Now as per statement, D likes Mahanadi River sits second to the right of Z,
who likes Saraswati River. Finally, D faces G as per seating. Here, D and G
are faces inside the circle i.e. one who like Godavari River and one who like
Mahanadi River is sitting opposite to each other and faces inside the circle.
All the given conditions get satisfied.

Here, the persons who are sitting in the row (except both ends) are not
equidistant from their immediate neighbors.
Mahesh, who is seated at one end of the row, is 15m away from Tahir.
Given, Distance between two consecutive persons is among 5m, 6m, 10m
and 12m.
Note: Mahesh is seated either at extreme right or left end. Thus we get two
possibilities. Also we placed only three persons in the seating initially & we
will continue based on the other statements in following explanation.
Case 1
Case 2
References:
Distance between two consecutive persons is among 5m, 6m, 10m and
12m.
Inferences:
Here also some persons seated between Baskar and Manoj. The possible
combinations for 23m among distance are
II. 6m + 5m + 6m + 6m =23 m
Here also some persons seated between Tarun and Fiyaz. The possible
combinations for 27m among distance are
To make total length 50m with six gaps (for 7 persons) among given
distance (5m, 6m, 10m and 12m) we have only one possible combination as
follows,
I.e. Baskar is seated 23m to the left of Manoj. Here two persons seated
between Baskar and Manoj. The distance between them is 6m + 5m + 12m
= 23m in any order.
Similarly Tarun is seated 27m to the left of Fiyaz. Here two persons seated
between Tarun and Fiyaz. The distance between them is 10m +12m + 5m
=27m in any order.
Tarun is seated 27m to the left of Fiyaz [10m + 12m + 5m =27m in any
order]
Note: From above 50m length, only one 10m distance is there between any
two adjacent people. We know that, only 10m distance gap is there in
between Mahesh and Tahir.

= 23m in any order.
From above seating (Case: 1 & 1-A), total 5m +10m +5m + 12m = 32m are
covered.
With this possibility, we understood that Manoj should sit at extreme right
end. Based on this condition Case-1 gets eliminated as shown in figure.
Distance between Harish and the one who is seated at one end of the row
is 6m.
Case 1: Here there is no way to make distance between Manoj and Baskar
with 23m gap. We know only 18m left in the row i.e. Out of total length
50m; 32m are covered in this figure. Hence this case can be eliminated.
