English and Logical Reasoning Prep GuideLogical ReasoningSeating Arrangement
Eight people E, F, G, H, J, K, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Each of them is of a different profession Chartered Accountant, Colomnist, Doctor, Engineer, Financial Analyst, Lawyer, Professor and Scientist but not necessarily in the same order. F I s sitting second to the left of K. The Scientist is an immediate neighbour of K. There are only three people between the Scientist and E. O
Options
- AThird to the left
- BSecond to the right
- CSecond to the left
- DThird to the right
Correct answer
B. Second to the right
Step-by-step solution
To determine L's position relative to the Scientist (( H ) ), we map the circular arrangement: - H (Scientist) and K are neighbors. - Three people sit between H and E, placing E directly opposite H. - F is second to the left of K, and L (Financial Analyst) is to the immediate left of F. - Following the circle clockwise from ( H ), the sequence is ( H M L ). This places ( L ) two seats away from ( H ) in the clockwise direction. Therefore, ( L ) is second to the right of the Scientist. Correct Option: (B).
