6 girls J, K, L, A, B and C are sitting around a square table facing the centre (not necessarily in the same order). 4 girls are
sitting in the corners and 2 girls are sitting one each in the middle of two opposite sides of the square. L and C are sitting
opposite each other. L is the immediate neighbour of A and B. C is not sitting on the corner.
Who are the immediate neighbours of C?

SSC MTS 7th July 2022 Shift-2
Explanation:
Let’s figure this out step by step:
- There are 6 girls: J, K, L, A, B, C.
- 4 corners, 2 middles (opposite sides).
- Everyone faces the centre.
- L and C are opposite each other.
- L is right next to A and B.
- C is not on a corner (so C is on a side-center seat).
- Since L and C are opposite, L must also be in a side-center seat.
- So, only J, K, A, B can be on corners.
- Since L is between A and B, on one side, the seats should be arranged as: corner—A—L—B—corner.
- C is opposite L (so between two corners).
So, around the table, one reasonable arrangement looks like:
J (corner) — A (corner) — L (side) — B (corner) — K (corner) — C (side, opposite L).
- C’s immediate neighbours are K and J.
So, out of the options:
Option 1: K and B (nope; B is away from C)
Option 2: K and A (nope)
Option 3: J and K – right
Option 4: J and B (nope)
J and K are the immediate neighbours of C.
So, Option 3 is the one.
