The figure rotates sequentially 2, 1, 3, 1, 4, .......
steps in a clockwise direction. 1. Alphabetical order restrictions:
o Adjacent letters in alphabet: R-S, S-T, T-
U, U-V, V-W
13. (3)
o So these pairs cannot sit together: R&S,
S&T, T&U, U&V, V&W
14. (2) 2. U is opposite R:
o In a circle of 6, opposite means 3 seats
apart
15. (1) o Let's fix R at position 1, then U is at
position 4
3. Possible neighbors for R (positions 6 and 2):
o Can't be S (since R can't sit next to S)
o Possible options: T, V, W

 4. V is not to R's immediate right: o Possible positions for J and H based on
o So V can't be at position 2 this.
o Thus R's neighbors must be: 3. J's Position:
▪ Left (position 6): V, T or W o J is between L and F, so F must be
▪ Right (position 2): T or W adjacent to J.
5. Arrangement possibilities: o G is between I and F, so the order is I-G-
o Let's try T to R's right (position 2) F or F-G-I.
o Then left of R (position 6) must be V or 4. Lady Members:
W o Ladies: E, H, and one more (from G, J, I,
o But V can't be next to U (position 4), K)
because U-V is adjacent alphabetically o Ladies cannot sit next to each other.
o So position 6 must be W 5. Final Arrangement:
o Now position 3 can't be T (already next After considering all constraints, one possible

be next to R) o North: E (lady) and K
o Only option is S at position 5 o East: H (lady) and I
o Then position 3 must be V o South: L (male) and J
o West: F and G
Final Arrangement:
Answers:
1. R
2. T (immediate right of R) (i) (D) None of these
3. V
4. U • E's neighbors: K and ?
5. S • H's neighbors: I and ?
6. W (immediate left of R) • No common immediate neighbor

Given Information: • Counting clockwise: K to F has 3 people

(C) Three
1. 8 persons: E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L around a square
table (2 on each side) (iii) (B) E, H and G
2. 3 lady members not seated next to each other
3. J sits between L and F • E, H, and ? (must be I or G)
4. G sits between I and F From clues, I is likely the third lady
5. H (lady) is second to left of J (B) E, H and G (assuming G is female)
6. L (male) sits opposite E (lady)
7. A lady sits between F and I (iv) (A) G

Solution: • In the arrangement, G sits to F's left

(A) G
1. Fix Positions:
o Since L sits opposite E, place them on (v) (A) J is a male member
opposite sides.
o Let's place E at North position (top side), • From clues, J is between L and F, but gender not

V is at 6 (west-facing)
• Between them is 5: S
3. Place S (next to V, west-facing):
(D) S
o V is at 6 (back row), so S must be at 5
(adjacent in same row) Note: Some answers depend on the initial assumption of
o S is west-facing (matches given) T's position. Other valid arrangements may exist but this
4. Place R (east-facing, not next to T): is the most consistent with all constraints.
o T is at 1 (front row), so R can't be at 2

Given Symbols:
If we assume the series follows a pattern where:
• P S Q = P is father of Q
• A occurs without B before it but with C after it • P # Q = P is mother of Q
(e.g., "XAC"), then count such A's. • P * Q = P is sister of Q
Given options: (B) 40 is correct for a standard
pattern. Expression: N # L S P * Q

1. N # L = N is mother of L
2. L S P = L is father of P
25. D 3. P * Q = P is sister of Q

Given: Family Tree:

1. A is shorter than B but taller than E → B > A > E • N (mother) → L (father) → P (daughter)
2. C is tallest → C > B • P is sister of Q → Q is child of L
3. D is slightly shorter than B but taller than A → B • Thus, Q is grandchild of N
