P, Q, R, S, T, U, V are sitting around a table in the same order, for group discussion at equal distances. Their positions are clockwise. If V sits in the north, then what will be the position of 'S'?
Show Hint
- East
- South
- South-East
- South-West
The Correct Option is D
Solution and Explanation
Step 1: Visualize the seating arrangement.
Since the people are sitting in clockwise order and V is sitting in the north, we can assume the following order:
V → T → U → S → R → Q → P.
Step 2: Identify the position of 'S'.
Following the clockwise arrangement, 'S' will be positioned at the South-West relative to V, as the seating is spaced equally.
Step 3: Conclusion.
Thus, the correct position of 'S' is South-West, and the correct answer is (d).
Top Questions on Seating Arrangement
Four teams – Red (R), Blue (B), Green (G), and Yellow (Y) – are competing in the final four rounds of the Inter-School Science Olympiad, labeled Round A, Round B, Round C, and Round D. Each round consists of one match between two teams, and every team plays exactly two matches. No team plays the same opponent more than once.
The final schedule must adhere to the following rules:
- Rule 1 (Consecutive Play): The Green team (G) must play their two matches in consecutive rounds.
- Rule 2 (Fixed Appearance): The Yellow team (Y) must play in Round B.
- Rule 3 (Positional Constraint): The Red team (R) must play against the Blue team (B) in a round that is immediately before a round in which neither R nor B is playing.
- Rule 4 (Timing): The Blue team's (B) first match must occur in an earlier round than the Green team's (G) first match.
- Rule 5 (Opponent Link): The team that plays against the Red team (R) in the round that is not against the Blue team (B), is the same team that plays in Round D.
