Given Information:
- Eight persons L, M, N, P, Q, R, S, and T are sitting around a circular table facing the center.
- Q is not the neighbor of P or R.
- M is second to the left of T and third to the right of P.
- R is third to the left of N, who is to the immediate left of T.
- L is second to the right of P.

To Find: The neighbors of T

Solution:
- We can start by drawing a diagram to represent the given information. Let's assume that T is at the top of the circle and draw the other persons around it:
```
R
N T P
S M
Q L
```
- From the given information, we know that:
- Q is not the neighbor of P or R. So, Q cannot be sitting next to T.
- M is second to the left of T and third to the right of P. So, P must be sitting between M and T. Also, since there are only eight persons, M cannot be sitting next to T. Therefore, P must be sitting next to T, and M must be sitting opposite to T.
- R is third to the left of N, who is to the immediate left of T. So, R must be sitting next to T, and N must be sitting opposite to T.
- L is second to the right of P. So, L must be sitting two places clockwise from T.
- Based on the above deductions, we can fill in the remaining positions:
```
R
N T P
S L M
Q |
-------
```
- Now, we can see that the neighbors of T are N and P. So, the correct answer is option D, "None of these".

Therefore, option D is the correct answer.

Directions : Study the following and answer the questions given below:
(i) Five persons A, B, C, D and E are sitting in a circle and their faces are towards the centre.
(ii) D is between B and C.
(iii) B is to the left of E.
Q. ​Who is to the right of ‘E’?
  • a)
    A
  • b)
    B
  • c)
    C
  • d)
    D
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Anaya Patel answered
In this circle ,
B is extreme left to E, E is extreme left to A, A is extreme left to C ,C is extreme left to D ,
as well as D is extreme left to B .
So , the 2nd line means that A is extreme right of E.
That's why,
A is the right answer.

Directions : Study the following information carefully and answer the questions. A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle, facing the centre. A sits fourth to the right of H while second to the left of F. C is not the neighbor of F and B. D sits third to the right of C. H never sits next to G.
Who amongst the following sits between B and D?
  • a)
    G
  • b)
    F
  • c)
    H
  • d)
    None of these
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Given information:
A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circle, facing the centre.
A sits fourth to the right of H while second to the left of F.
C is not the neighbor of F and B.
D sits third to the right of C.
H never sits next to G.

To find: Who amongst the following sits between B and D?

Solution:
1. Draw a circle and mark 8 points on it to represent A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H sitting around it facing the center.
2. Use the given information to arrange the positions of the people around the circle:

- A sits fourth to the right of H, so we can place A and H on opposite sides of the circle with 4 other people in between them.
- A is also second to the left of F, so F must be sitting next to A (on the left side of A).
- C is not the neighbor of F and B, so B and C cannot be sitting next to F or each other. Thus, B and C must be sitting on opposite sides of the circle.
- D sits third to the right of C, so we can place C and D on opposite sides of the circle with 2 other people in between them.
- H never sits next to G, so G cannot be sitting next to H.

3. The circle should now look like this:

G - - - - - - - - - H - - - - - - - - - A - - - - - - - - - F - - - - - - - - - E
| |
| |
| |
| |
F B - - - - - - - - - C
| |
| |
| |
| |
E - - - - - - - - - D - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

4. To find who is sitting between B and D, we look for the two people sitting on either side of D and B. D is next to E and C, and B is next to C and A. Thus, the person sitting between B and D is C.

Given Information:
- B, M, K, H, T, R, D, W and A are sitting around a circle facing at the centre.
- R is third to the right of B.
- H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.
- K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.
- D is second to the left of T.
- M is fourth to the right of W.

To find: Who is to the immediate left of D?

Solution:
- We need to draw a circle and place all the given persons on it, facing towards the center.
- From the given information, we can place R at the third position to the right of B.
- A is second to the right of R, so A will be placed after R in the clockwise direction.
- H is second to the right of A, so H will be placed after A in the clockwise direction.
- T is not an immediate neighbor of H, so we can place T at any position except the two adjacent positions of H. Let's place T between B and M.
- K is third to the right of T, so K will be placed after T, three positions to the right.
- D is second to the left of T, so D will be placed before T, two positions to the left.
- M is fourth to the right of W, so M will be placed after K, four positions to the right.
- Now, we can see that the immediate left of D is H.

Therefore, the correct answer is option 'C' (H).

Esha shukla answered
Circular Seating Arrangement:

- 8 people P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing the center.
- R is third to the right of Z, who is second to the right of P.
- S is not an immediate neighbor of Z and R.
- T is third to the left of S.
- Q is third to the right of W, who is not an immediate neighbor of S.

To solve this problem, we need to follow the given statements and draw a circle diagram to represent the arrangement.

From statement 2, we can infer that the order is P, Z, X, Y, R, and the order is clockwise.

From statement 3, we can infer that S is either sitting between P and Z or sitting between R and X.

From statement 4, we can infer that T is sitting three places to the left of S. Hence, T is sitting between Z and R.

From statement 5, we can infer that W is not an immediate neighbor of S. Hence, W is sitting opposite to T or opposite to R.

Using the above inferences, we can draw the following circle diagram:

P
/ \
/ \
Z W
\ /
\ /
T
|
R
|
S

Now, we can easily answer the question. As per the diagram, the trades of A and B are Tailor and Cook, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Trades Discussion:

- Mr. A, Miss B, Mr. C, and Miss D are sitting around a table.
- Mr. A sits opposite to Cook.
- Miss B sits right to Barber.
- The Washer man is on the left of the Tailor.
- Miss D sits opposite Mr. C.

To solve this problem, we need to follow the given statements and draw a table diagram to represent the arrangement.

From statement 1, we can infer that the four people are sitting in a square table facing each other.

From statement 2, we can infer that Cook is sitting opposite to A.

From statement 3, we can infer that the Tailor is sitting left to the Washer man.

From statement 4, we can infer that Miss D and Mr. C are sitting opposite to each other.

Using the above inferences, we can draw the following table diagram:

Miss D Barber Mr. C
Tailor Cook Washer man
Miss B Mr. A

Now, we can easily answer the question. As per the diagram, the trades of A and B are Tailor and Cook, respectively. Therefore, the correct answer is option B.

Kavita patil answered
Solution:

Given Data:
B, M, K, H, T, R, D, W and A are sitting around a circle facing at the centre.

R is third to the right of B.

H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.

K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.

D is second to the left of T.

M is fourth to the right of W.

To solve such questions, we follow the below steps:

1) Draw a circle and mark the positions of all the people.

2) Calculate the positions of the remaining people using the given information.

3) Answer the questions based on the positions.

Let’s apply the above steps:

Step 1: Draw a circle and mark the positions of all the people.

We get a circle as below:

Step 2: Calculate the positions of the remaining people using the given information.

Using the given information, we get the following positions:

R is third to the right of B.

H is second to the right of A who is second to the right of R.

K is third to the right of T who is not an immediate neighbour of H.

D is second to the left of T.

M is fourth to the right of W.

Step 3: Answer the questions based on the positions.

In which of the following combinations is the third person sitting in between the first and second persons?

We have four options:

a) WKR
b) RAM
c) WTR
d) MHD

Checking each option:

a) WKR: W is fourth to the right of M. K is third to the right of T. R is third to the right of B. So, the third person in between W and K is T. Hence, option A is incorrect.

b) RAM: R is third to the right of B. A is second to the right of R. M is fourth to the right of W. So, the third person in between R and A is B. Hence, option B is incorrect.

c) WTR: K is third to the right of T. H is not an immediate neighbour of T. Hence, H cannot be in between W and T. So, option C is incorrect.

d) MHD: D is second to the left of T. K is not an immediate neighbour of D. Hence, K cannot be in between M and D. So, option D is incorrect.

Therefore, option A i.e. WKR is the correct answer.

Hence, the correct answer is "Option A".

Given Information:
- J lives on floor numbered four.
- Only two people live between J and O.
- Only one person lives between O and L.
- M lives immediately above Q.
- M lives on an even numbered floor.
- Only one person lives between Q and N.
- Only one person lives between M and K.
- K does not live on the topmost floor.

Solution:
- From the given information, we can create the following table to represent the positions of each person:

| Floor | Person |
|-------|--------|
| 1 | |
| 2 | |
| 3 | |
| 4 | J |
| 5 | |
| 6 | |
| 7 | |
| 8 | |

- From the given information, we know that only two people live between J and O. Therefore, O can either be on the 6th floor or the 2nd floor.
- If O is on the 6th floor, L must be on the 8th floor. This would mean that M is on the 7th floor, which is odd numbered. But we know that M lives on an even numbered floor. Therefore, O cannot be on the 6th floor.
- This means that O must be on the 2nd floor and L must be on the 4th floor.
- From the given information, we know that M lives immediately above Q. Therefore, Q must be on the 5th floor and M must be on the 6th floor.
- From the given information, we know that only one person lives between Q and N. Therefore, N must be on the 8th floor.
- From the given information, we know that only one person lives between M and K. Therefore, K must be on the 4th floor.
- From the given information, we know that K does not live on the topmost floor. Therefore, K must be on the 3rd floor.
- This leaves P to be on the 1st floor.

Answer:
- From the above deductions, we can conclude that M lives on the topmost floor, which is the 8th floor. Therefore, the correct answer is option D (M lives on topmost floor).

Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below:
Eight friends – J, K, L, M, N, O, P and Q – live on eight different floors of a building but not necessarily in the same order. The lower most floor of the building is numbered one, the one above that is numbered two and so one until the topmost floor is numbered eight. J lives on floor numbered four. Only two people live between J and O. Only one person lives between O and L. M lives immediately above Q. M lives on an even numbered floor. Only one person lives between Q and N.

Circular seating arrangement of eight persons:

N
R T
P M
S Q
L

Given information:
- Eight persons L, M, N, P, Q, R, S and T are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.
- Q is not the neighbour of P or R.
- M is second to the left of T and third to the right of P.
- R is third to the left of N, who is to the immediate left of T.
- L is second to the right of P.

Analysis:
- Q cannot be seated next to P or R.
- M is not between N and Q, as M is third to the right of P and N is to the immediate left of T.
- L is second to the right of P, so P must be seated between L and M.
- From the given information, we can place N, T, P, and M in their respective positions.

N
R T
P M
S Q
L

Answer:
From the given information, we can conclude that R is to the immediate right of P (option B) as there is no other position available for R to be seated. Therefore, option B is the correct answer.

Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
          Eight people – M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T – are sitting around a circular are at equal distances between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of the people are facing the centre while some face outside. (i.e., in a direction opposite to the centre).
Note: Facing the same direction means one faces the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice versa. Facing opposite direction means if one person faces centre then the other faces outside and vice versa.
          S sits second to the right of P. P faces the centre. T sits second to the left of S. T is an immediate neighbour of both O and Q. R sits second to the left of Q. M sits second to the left of R. T sits second to the left of N. M sits second to the left of O. T faces the same direction as Q. N sits third to the right of M.

Karan chawla answered
Solution:

Given information:
- A is sitting next to B.
- C is sitting next to D.
- E is on the left end of the bench.
- C is on the second position from the right.
- A and C are sitting together.

From the given information, we can deduce the following:
- The order of friends on the bench is E _ _ _ _.
- A and B are sitting together, so the order could be either AB or BA.
- C and D are sitting together, so the order could be either CD or DC.
- C is on the second position from the right, so the order must be _ _ C _ _.

From the given information, we know that A and C are sitting together. Therefore, the order could be either AC _ _ _ or _ _ AC _.

Now, let's consider the given information that A is sitting next to B. If the order is AC _ _ _, then A and B cannot be sitting next to each other. Therefore, the order must be _ _ AC _.

Considering the given information that C is on the second position from the right, the order can be _ _ AC _. And since E is on the left end of the bench, the final order is E _ AC _.

Therefore, A is sitting between E and C.

Answer: Option (a) Between B and C

Directions : Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Five friends A, B, C, D and E are sitting on a bench.
(i) A is sitting next to B.
(ii) C is sitting next to D.
(iii) E is on the left end of the bench.
(iv) C is on second position from right.
(v) A and C are sitting together.

Anmol Saha answered
Given Information:
- P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z are sitting around a circle facing the center.
- R is third to the right of Z.
- Z is second to the right of P.
- S is not an immediate neighbor of Z and R.
- T is third to the left of S.
- Q is third to the right of W.
- W is not an immediate neighbor of S.

Step-by-step Solution:
To determine who is on the immediate left of Z, we need to analyze the given information and apply the given conditions. Let's solve this step-by-step:

1. Draw a Circle:
Draw a circle to represent the seating arrangement, with P, Q, R, S, T, V, W, and Z placed around it in a clockwise manner, facing the center.

2. Place Z and R:
Since Z is second to the right of P, we can place P on the circle and then place Z to its right. Similarly, since R is third to the right of Z, we can place R to the right of Z.

3. Place S:
Since S is not an immediate neighbor of Z and R, we cannot place S immediately to the left or right of Z and R. Therefore, S cannot be placed next to Z and R.

4. Place T:
Since T is third to the left of S, we can place T three seats to the left of S.

5. Place W:
Since Q is third to the right of W and W is not an immediate neighbor of S, we can place W three seats to the left of Q.

6. Place Q:
Since Q is third to the right of W, we can place Q three seats to the right of W.

7. Place V:
Since V is the only remaining person, we can place V in any of the empty seats.

8. Analyzing the Configuration:
Based on the given conditions, we have placed all the people around the circle. Now, we need to determine who is on the immediate left of Z.

9. The Answer:
From the configuration, we can see that V is on the immediate left of Z.

Conclusion:
Based on the given information, the person on the immediate left of Z is V. Therefore, the correct answer is option A) V.

Study the given information carefully and answer the given questions –
  L, M, N, O, P, Q, R and S are sitting around a circular area at equal distances between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of the people are facing the centre while some face outside (i.e., in a direction opposite to the centre).
Note: Facing the same direction means if one person faces the centre then the other person also faces the centre and vice versa.
Facing the opposite directions means if one person faces the centre then the other person faces outside and vice versa.
  Immediate neighbours faces the same direction means if one neighbour faces the centre then the other neighour also faces the centre and vice versa.
  Immediate neighbours face the opposite directions means if one neighbour faces the centre then the other neighbor faces outside and vice versa.
  Only three people sit between L and M. Both L and M face opposite directions. Q sits to the immediate right of M. P sits third to the right of Q. Only two people sit between P and N.R sits to the immediate left of N. O sits third to the right of R. O is not an immediate neighbour of L. Both the immediate neighbours of  L face the same direction. Both the immediate neighbours of P face the opposite directions. L sits second the right of P. S faces the centre.

Radha rane answered
Understanding the Problem
To solve the arrangement of friends living on different floors, we need to piece together the clues provided.
Key Information Derived from Clues
- J lives on the 4th floor.
- There are two people between J and O, placing O on the 7th floor.
- One person lives between O and L, which places L on the 6th floor.
- M lives immediately above Q, and since M is on an even-numbered floor, M can be on the 2nd or 6th floor. Since L is on the 6th, M must be on the 2nd floor.
- This means Q lives on the 1st floor (immediately below M).
- There is one person between Q and N, placing N on the 3rd floor.
- There is one person between M and K, so K must be on the 5th floor.
- K cannot live on the 8th floor, confirming its position.
Final Arrangement
Based on the above deductions, the arrangement of friends by floors is:
1. Q
2. M
3. N
4. J
5. K
6. L
7. O
8. P
Analysis of Options Regarding N
- Option A: N lives on the 6th floor – Incorrect (N is on the 3rd floor).
- Option B: Only two persons live between N and L – Incorrect (Only one person lives between them).
- Option C: Only two persons live between N and M – Correct (There are two people: Q and M).
- Option D: N lives on the 5th from the topmost floor – Incorrect (N is on the 3rd floor).
- Option E: Q is an immediate neighbor of N – Incorrect (Q is on the 1st floor).
Conclusion
The correct answer is Option C, as it accurately states the relationship between N and M.
