Seating Arrangement Part01

Problem: 01
A,B,C,D,E,F,G and H are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre but not necessarily in the
same order. H is second to the right of E, who is third to the left of A. B is not an immediate
neighbour of E,A and H. G sits opposite to H. C sits third to the right of G. D is not an immediate
of E
Step1:
H is second to the right of E

Step 2:
Step 3:
who is third to the left of A
B is not an immediate
(which means E is third to the neighbour of E , A and H
left of A)

Now we have two chance to

place the B
Step 4:
G sits opposite to H
(From step 3(a) we are not
able to place B, so neglect that
step and B is placed as in the
step 3(b))

Step 3(a):
First chance to Place B

Step 3(b):
Second chance to place B

Step 5:
C sits third to the right of G

Step 6:
D is not an immediate
neighbour of E (From step 5
we have only place to add D is
Step 7:
opposite to E)
And finally we left with only F

Problem: 02
L, M, N, O, P, Q, R and S are sitting around a circular table facing the centre but not necessarily in
the same order. R is second to the left of L, who is third to the right of S. only one person sits
between L and Q. O is not an immediate neighbour of Q. M sits third to the right of O. N is
immediate right if Q.
Step 1:
R is second to the left of L........

Step 3:
O is not an
neighbour of Q

Step 2:
Step 1(a):
....... who is third to the right Only one person sits between
of S (Which means L is third L and Q
to the right of S)

Step 4:
Step 4(a):
immediate M sits third to the right of O Second Option
(we have two options to place
O) First Option

Step5:
Step 6:
compare step 4 and 4(a), we N is immediate right of Q
are not able to place the M in
step 4, so we have only option
is 4(a). Place the M according
to the question

Step 7:
And finally we have only one
