Pankaj Chakraborty answered |
Let the people who wear a blue, red and green shirt be denoted by b, r and g respectively. Restrictions on the seating arrangement:
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
Case I: A person wearing a green shirt is sitting on chair numbered 1. It is only possible if another person wearing a green shirt sits on chair numbered 2, but this violates restriction number 4. Hence, this is also not possible.
Case II: A person wearing a blue shirt sits on chair numbered 1. The six seating arrangements that are possible are as follows.
Now, we see that the cases 4, 5 and 6 are just obtained by reversing the cases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It can be concluded that in any possible seating arrangement, the chairs numbered 1 and 10 are always occupied by people wearing blue shirts. It is given that the number of people wearing a blue shirt is 3. Looking at the table given in the question, we observe that in each of the six arrangements two out of the three different people i.e. A, B and N always sit on chairs numbered 1 and 10.
Hence it can be concluded that the people who wear a blue shirt are A, B and N From the given table the person wearing a blue shirt can never sit on chairs numbered 2, 4, 7 and 9. So, (in arrangement I), A, B and N sitting on chairs numbered 1, 7 and 10 is inconsistent. Also, the people wearing red shirts sit on chairs numbered 2 and 9 and in all the possible arrangements five different people namely P, Q, M, Z and R are sitting on chairs numbered either 2 or 9. Therefore, P, Q, M, Z and R are wearing red shirts and K and L are wearing green shirts.

Option (1): A (Blue), P (Red), R (Red) and L (Green): Permissible

Seema is to the left of rani. So arrangement is:

Seema is to the to the right of bindu. So,arrangement is:
⇒ Bindhu , .. , Seema
⇒ Bindhu , .. , Seema
Mary is to the right of rani. So arrangement is:
⇒ Rani, ..., Mary
⇒ Rani, ..., Mary
Reeta is between rani and mary. So arrangement is:

So, the arrangement in photograph from left to right side is:-
Bindu , Seema , Rani , reeta and Mary
Bindu , Seema , Rani , reeta and Mary

- B, who is just next to the left of D, is opposite to Q
- C and N are diagonally opposite to each other
- E is opposite to O who is just next right of M
- P, who is just to the left of Q, is opposite to D
- M is at one end of the line
Solution:
To solve this question, we need to redraw the diagram after the given changes and then find the person who will be second to the left of the person opposite to O.
New Diagram:
1. Before Changes:
- A B C D E (facing south)
- M N O P Q (facing north)
2. After Changes:
- A Q C B D E (facing south)
- M N E P O (facing north)
Answer:
According to the new diagram, we can see that:
- E is opposite to P
- Q is opposite to B
- O is opposite to C
Therefore, the person opposite to O is C and the person second to the left of C is Q. Hence, the correct answer is option A (Q).
- 5 men (A, B, C, D, E) sitting in a line facing south
- 5 women (M, N, O, P, Q) sitting in a line facing north parallel to the first line
- B, who is just next to the left of D, is opposite to Q
- C and N are diagonally opposite to each other
- E is opposite to O who is just next right of M
- P, who is just to the left of Q, is opposite to D

Solution:
To solve this question, we need to redraw the diagram after the given changes and then find the person who will be second to the left of the person opposite to O.
New Diagram:
1. Before Changes:
- A B C D E (facing south)
- M N O P Q (facing north)
2. After Changes:

According to the new diagram, we can see that:
- E is opposite to P
- Q is opposite to B
- O is opposite to C
Therefore, the person opposite to O is C and the person second to the left of C is Q. Hence, the correct answer is option A (Q).

2. Deepa is between Prakash and Pankaj.
3. Priti is between Mukesh and Lalit.
4. Prakash and Mukesh are opposite to each other.
Step 1: Determine the position of Prakash and Mukesh.
Since Prakash and Mukesh are opposite to each other, they must be sitting diametrically opposite in the circle.
Step 2: Determine the position of Deepa.
According to the given information, Deepa is sitting between Prakash and Pankaj. Since Prakash and Mukesh are opposite to each other, Deepa cannot be sitting next to Prakash. Therefore, Deepa must be sitting next to Pankaj.

Final Answer:
Based on the deductions made, the friend sitting right to Prakash is Lalit. Therefore, option D - Lalit is the correct answer.

P sits two seats to the left of R, and Q sits two seats to the right of R. We can represent this information in the diagram below.
We create a new slot for the sixth person. But since U will not sit next to P, S or T, he will have to sit between R and Q. The arrangement will then look as follows:
As we can see from the diagram, the neighbours of P will be T and S.

Let the people who wear a blue, red and green shirt be denoted by b, r and g respectively. Restrictions on the seating arrangement:
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
1. Two b’s must not be together.
2. Three r’s must be together.
3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.
4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.
Case I: A person wearing a green shirt is sitting on chair numbered 1. It is only possible if another person wearing a green shirt sits on chair numbered 2, but this violates restriction number 4. Hence, this is also not possible.
Case II: A person wearing a blue shirt sits on chair numbered 1. The six seating arrangements that are possible are as follows.
Now, we see that the cases 4, 5 and 6 are just obtained by reversing the cases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It can be concluded that in any possible seating arrangement, the chairs numbered 1 and 10 are always occupied by people wearing blue shirts. It is given that the number of people wearing a blue shirt is 3. Looking at the table given in the question, we observe that in each of the six arrangements two out of the three different people i.e. A, B and N always sit on chairs numbered 1 and 10.
Hence it can be concluded that the people who wear a blue shirt are A, B and N From the given table the person wearing a blue shirt can never sit on chairs numbered 2, 4, 7 and 9. So, (in arrangement I), A, B and N sitting on chairs numbered 1, 7 and 10 is inconsistent. Also, the people wearing red shirts sit on chairs numbered 2 and 9 and in all the possible arrangements five different people namely P, Q, M, Z and R are sitting on chairs numbered either 2 or 9. Therefore, P, Q, M, Z and R are wearing red shirts and K and L are wearing green shirts. K and L are wearing green shirts. Hence, K is the answer.

There are 5 types of biscuits, 3 types of candies and 4 types of savouries. Among 16 shelves, there are 4 empty shelves.
It is given that all items of same type are clustered together with no empty shelf between items of the same type.
From (3) and (4), it can be concluded that D, E, F and K are savouries.
From (2) and (5), L, I and J are of one type and H is the other type. Therefore from (6), as C is a candy, L, I J must be types of biscuits and H is a type of candy. Now using (1), we can conclude that A and B are of one type but not candies as there are only 3 types of candies.
Therefore,
Biscuits: A, B, I, J, L Candies: C, H, G Savouries: D, E, F, K
From (3), (4), (6) and (7), there shelf number 12 must be an empty shelf. Also, D, E, F and K are placed in shelves numbered 13, 14, 15 and 16 respectively.
Now from (1), (2) and (7), the sequence (from left to right) in which biscuits are kept is:
(Empty shelf), L, A, B, (I/J), (J/I).
From (6), the candies must be in the following order: (Empty shelf), (Empty shelf), C, (H/G), (G/H)
Thus, we have
In each case, J and I can be arranged in 2 ways and G and H can be arranged among them in 2 ways. Thus, 2 × 2 = 4 ways.
Total number of ways the items can be arranged on the shelves = 4 + 4 = 8
