Two round table sessions were held deliberating over the feasibility o...
First, we would try to determine the relative positions of A to H for the first session. We know in hint 5 that all the people are facing the table.
Using hint 6,


​Using hint 4 and hint 3 together, we get the following 2 arrangements.
 

Using hint 2, we can add F to the arrangements as follows:


Using hint 1, we can add G to the arrangements as follows:


We are yet to figure out the positions of D and H. So let us consider all possible alternatives for their positions:

Now let us use the hints given to determine the positions in the second session. We know that they are facing the table. 
Using hints 5 and 4 in all the four configurations, we get their arrangements in the second sessions as follows:

In the second session, A moves 3 places to his left, but in arrangements 1 and 2, that place is already occupied.
So, those are invalidated. We can process the remaining information on arrangements 3 and 4. Also, we can add this information (new position of A) in 3 and 4.

Using hint (2) and the fact that all people but H are in different seats, we get the following:


G is not adjacent to H.


Therefore the 2 different possible seating arrangements in the first and second sessions are as follows:

E is sitting to the immediate left of G in the second session, so it is the arrangement numbered 4. In the same arrangement, H was sitting one place to the left of A.

Directions: These questions are based on the given passage below.Deliberative democracy demands a reflexive (or reflection driven) reordering of preferences in a non-coercive manner. The authenticity of democracy requires in addition that these reflective preferences influence collective outcomes and action, and so long as the state is the main (though far from exclusiv e) locus of collective decisions it requires discursive mechanisms for transmission of public opinion to the state. A deliberative or more properly a discursive democracy, in order that it can accommodate several competing versions of democracies such as the liberal. The minimal, the difference, etc must also accommodate rhetoric. narratives and empathy along with reasoning. A rationality and a reasoning that does not accommodate values is meaningless. However, it is also argued that individual rationality cannot be realized if values are embedded in the decision procedures, in other words, realization of values could be made possible only when individuals behave non-rationally. Further if values having been abandoned at the individual level are accorded a place only collectively, the same must lead to either ‘‘epistemological inconsistency or abandonment of autonomy of individual evaluations’’. A talk or a rhetoric, otherwise is strategic and is employed with the intention of signalling certain information. Such a talk can be, therefore, deceptive and coercive. The illocutionary force and the normative trappings of a Foucauldian discourse, while allowing identification with a community and differences with the others, do simultaneously pose through coercion a threat to an utterance as such. If democracy cannot ensure utterance as freedom and if the illocutionary forces in a discursive democracy disciplines the thought and the talk, then how such a democracy could indeed be called authentic.Most human actions and discourses are actuated by a deeper or primordial ante-deliberation Desire (let us use a capital ‘D’). Speaking as such is out of such a desire (one might use volition or passion). Engaging in a deliberation or else in an action is possible only since there has been such a desire. Desire appears to both the reflection and also to an observer as a mental-state. A discourse can be set only when such mental states are in harmony, or share a common predisposition or attitude. In the absence of such shared mental-states, no discourse and no deliberation can begin. A running underlying and most often unstated theme that remains at the back of the idea of deliberative democracy is competition–a competition with the ‘other’ which introduces strategy. The alternative to competition, a mental-state, which is out of a desire to enjoy the ‘other’ in the light of a memory that this ‘one’ and the ‘other’ were but the same and would again become the same, do not appear in the known Anglo-American literature. Such a mental-state might generate and keep alive possibilities of cooperation although is never a state of cooperation alone as such.Which of the following words is closest to the word ‘primordial’ as used in the passage above?

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the question given below.A group of friends was discussing how they spent last weekend.

All the friends who stayed at home participated in at least one of the two activities - playing charades and watching movies.The following information is also known about the number of friends who participated in each activity:(1) The number of friends who played cards was 8 more than the number of friends who participated in exactly two activities among the entire group of friends.(2) The number of friends who played charades among those who went to Goa was 7 greater than the number of friends who watched movies.(3) The total number of friends who played charades among the entire group of friends was 21 more than the number of friends who played cards.(4) The sum of the number of friends who played charades among the entire group of friends and the number of friends who watched movies was 66.(5) The total number of friends who participated in exactly two activities was 21, which was four more than the number of friends who participated only in playing cards.Q.The number of friends who only watched movies is Correct answer is '7'.
