linear arrangement questions based on
arrangements are one of the most common
and important question types in logical
reasoning all the questions in this type
involve arranging people or objects in
straight lines or around circles squares
or some other geometric shapes let us
now understand one of the important
forms of arrangement that is linear
arrangement in this type of question a
student is required to arrange different
people in a line on number of lines the
people may be sitting or standing in a
row or a set of rows let us see some
statements to understand this type of
arrangements a B and C are standing all
facing north a is standing to the right
of B B is not standing in the middle of
a and C if we see in the statements
given above all the people are facing
north the following people will stand in
the following manner the left and right
is taken according to direction in which
the person given in the question are
facing if nothing is given we can take
all people are facing north if we see
the final arrangement of the given
persons it will be as follows example 6
friends a b c d e and f are sitting in a
row facing towards north C is sitting
between a and E
d is not at the end B is sitting
immediate right to e F is not at the
right end how many persons are there to
the right of D a1 b2 c3 d4 solution in
the above example all the people are
facing north we can have the following
seating arrangement as C is sitting
between a and E they will be sitting in
the following manner case 1 a c e case -
II see a however we still cannot fix a
place for them on the above grid D
cannot be at either of the ends also B
is sitting to the immediate right of e
hence case 2 above is discarded and we
will have the following arrangement a c
e B in addition F is not at the right
end and D cannot be at any of the ends
we will have the following arrangement F
be a see
e/b so on basis of the above arrangement
it can be concluded that there are four
people sitting to the right of D
therefore there are few important points
that students should keep in mind while
solving the questions based on
arrangement students should have the
ability to visualize all the geometric
shape of the arrangement students should
have the ability to order the clues in
the correct order of usage students
should have the ability to understand
the indirect clues
