Logical Reasoning (MTS) Sitting Arrangement

4 males M1, M2, M3 and M4 are sitting in a row facing towards the west (not necessarily in the same order). 4 females F1, F2,

F3 and F4 sitting in a row facing towards the face of these males (not necessarily in the same order). F4 is to the immediate

right of F3. One female is sitting between F2 and F3. M3 is diagonally opposite to F2. M2 is second to the right of M4.

Which of the following statements can be correct?

I. M4 is facing F3.

II. M2 is diagonally opposite to F4.

SSC MTS 26th July 2022 Shift-1

Both I and II

Neither I nor II

Only II

Only I

Let's analyze the statements and options:

- F4 is immediately right of F3 ? so F3, F4 must be together.

- One female is between F2 and F3 ? possibilities: F2 _ F3 F4 or F3 F4 _ F2

- M3 is diagonally opposite to F2 ? If F2 is in position 1, M3 must be in position 2, etc. (diagonal means not straight, must be criss-crossed)

- M2 is second to the right of M4 ? If M4 is 1st, M2 is 3rd; if M4 is 2nd, M2 is 4th.

Testing arrangements:

After arranging with all constraints, valid cases emerge only if:

- M4 faces F3 and M2 is diagonally opposite to F4.

So, both statements I and II can be correct.

- Option 1: Both I and II – (Correct)

- Option 2: Neither I nor II – Incorrect

- Option 3: Only II – Incorrect

- Option 4: Only I – Incorrect
