Comprehension
Read the given paragraph carefully and answer the questions that follow.
Seven friends Zora, Yaana, Veena, Umang, Tina, Aavya and Christy are sitting around a circular table facing outside from the centre (not necessarily in the same order). Tina is second to the left of Aavya. Zora is seating to the right of Umang. Christy is seated second to the left of Tina. Tina is seating between Veena and Yaana. Aavya is seating to the immediate right of Veena.
Question: 1

Who is sitting to the fourth right of Yaana?

Show Hint

Always establish the Right/Left directions clearly at the start. For "Facing Outside", Right = Clockwise. Drawing a circle and marking arrows helps.

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Understanding the Arrangement:
We have a circular arrangement with 7 people facing outside. Key Direction Rule: When facing outside:
- Right is Clockwise (CW).
- Left is Anti-Clockwise (ACW).
Step 2: Constructing the Seating Plan:
Let's place the people step-by-step.
1. "Tina is second to the left of Aavya."
Place Aavya (A). Move ACW 2 spots to place Tina (T).
Pattern (ACW): A \(\rightarrow\) __ \(\rightarrow\) T.
2. "Aavya is seating to the immediate right of Veena."
Right is CW. So A is immediately CW of Veena (V).
Pattern (CW): V \(\rightarrow\) A.
Combining with step 1: V \(\rightarrow\) A \(\rightarrow\) (Gap) \(\rightarrow\) T (in CW order, T is to the right of the gap).
Let positions be 1 to 7 in Clockwise order.
Let Veena be at 1. Then Aavya is at 2.
Tina is 2nd to left of Aavya. Left of 2 is 1, then 7. So Tina is at 7.
Current Positions (CW): 1:Veena, 2:Aavya, 7:Tina.
3. "Tina is seating between Veena and Yaana."
Tina (7) is between Veena (1) and Yaana. So Yaana must be at 6.
Current Positions (CW): 6:Yaana, 7:Tina, 1:Veena, 2:Aavya.
4. "Christy is seated second to the left of Tina."
Left is ACW. From Tina (7), move ACW to 6 (Yaana), then to 5. So Christy is at 5.
Current Positions (CW): 5:Christy, 6:Yaana, 7:Tina, 1:Veena, 2:Aavya.
5. "Zora is seating to the right of Umang."
Remaining spots are 3 and 4.
Remaining people are Zora and Umang.
Zora is to the right (CW) of Umang. So Umang is at 3, and Zora is at 4.
Final Arrangement (Clockwise starting from Veena):
1: Veena
2: Aavya
3: Umang
4: Zora
5: Christy
6: Yaana
7: Tina
Step 3: Solving Q37:
"Who is sitting to the fourth right of Yaana?"
- Start at Yaana (Position 6).
- Move 4 positions to the Right (Clockwise).
- \(6 \rightarrow 7 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 3\).
- Position 3 is occupied by Umang.
Step 4: Final Answer:
Umang is sitting to the fourth right of Yaana.

Question: 2

Who is sitting to the fourth left of Zora?

Show Hint

In a circular arrangement of \(N\) people, the \(4^{th}\) to the left is the same as the \((N-4)^{th}\) to the right. Here \(N=7\), so \(4^{th}\) Left = \(3^{rd}\) Right. Checking \(3^{rd}\) Right of Zora (4 \(\rightarrow\) 5 \(\rightarrow\) 6 \(\rightarrow\) 7) also gives Tina.

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

Step 1: Refer to the Arrangement:
From the previous solution, the Clockwise order is: Veena(1) \(\rightarrow\) Aavya(2) \(\rightarrow\) Umang(3) \(\rightarrow\) Zora(4) \(\rightarrow\) Christy(5) \(\rightarrow\) Yaana(6) \(\rightarrow\) Tina(7). Step 2: Solve the Question:
"Who is sitting to the fourth left of Zora?" - Start at Zora (Position 4). - Move 4 positions to the Left (Anti-Clockwise). - Left direction decreases the position number (wrapping 1 to 7). - \(4 \rightarrow 3 \rightarrow 2 \rightarrow 1 \rightarrow 7\). - Position 7 is occupied by Tina.
Step 3: Final Answer:
Tina is sitting to the fourth left of Zora.
