Question

What is the position of P with respect to his grandchild?

• A. Immediate right \qquad
• B. Third to the right \qquad
• C. Third to the left \qquad
• D. Fourth to the right

Hint:

When positions are fixed, always answer relative-position queries from the \emph{reference person’s} viewpoint (here, from $R$ to $P$) and remember "to the right" is clockwise for inward-facing circles.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is A

From the completed circle (Step 4 above), $Y$ is the mother of $R$, and $P$ is the father of $Y$ $\Rightarrow$ $R$ is $P$’s grandchild.
In the seating order \[ P \;-\; Y \;-\; X \;-\; Z \;-\; W \;-\; S \;-\; Q \;-\; R, \] everyone faces the centre, so moving to the right is clockwise. From $R$, the immediate right seat is $P$.
\[ \Rightarrow~\boxed{\text{$P$ is on the \emph{immediate right} of his grandchild $R$.}} \]
