What is the position of Faru with respect to Esha ........

Logical Reasoning (RBI) Sitting Arrangement

Directions: Study the following information carefully and answer the questions based on it.

Arun, Bobby, Chris, Dolly, Esha, Faru, Ganga and Harry are sitting around a square table such that four of them sit at each corner and remaining four at the center of each edge of the table. The ones who are sitting at the corners face towards the center while the rest face away from the center.

The persons sitting at the center of edges have different choice of colors among Black, Green, Maroon and Blue while the persons sitting at the corners have a liking for different drinks Coke, Pepsi, Sprite and Fruity. Dolly likes Pepsi and is not an immediate neighbor of Bobby who likes Black color and sits to the immediate left of the one who like Sprite. Chris sits to fourth to the left of the one who likes Fruity. One who likes Coke is not an immediate neighbor of Bobby. Arun and Esha are facing away from each other (in same line of sight) and Esha doesn’t like Maroon or Green. Ganga sits third to the left of Faru who likes a drink but not Sprite. The one who likes Green or Maroon, doesn’t sit between Dolly and Faru.

Explanation:

Alright, let’s break down the question and see what’s really happening here:

- You’ve got 8 people—Arun, Bobby, Chris, Dolly, Esha, Faru, Ganga, Harry—at a square table. Four at the corners (facing in), four at the middles of the edges (facing out).

- Edge seats are color fans (Black, Green, Maroon, Blue); corners have drink lovers (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Fruity).

Let’s see the clues:

- Dolly likes Pepsi, not next to Bobby (Black), and Bobby is just left of Sprite lover.

- Chris is fourth to the left of Fruity fan.

- Coke fan isn’t sitting next to Bobby.

- Arun and Esha sit opposite (facing away from each other, so both on the edges, directly across).

- Esha doesn’t like Maroon/Green—her seat’s either Black or Blue.

- Ganga sits third left from Faru, who likes *a drink* (not Sprite).

- Neither Green nor Maroon sits between Dolly and Faru.

Let’s play it out:

- If Arun and Esha are opposite and at edge seats, Esha’s color is not Maroon or Green.

- Bobby must be at an edge because he likes Black.

- Dolly isn’t at an edge, because she likes a drink (Pepsi), so Dolly’s on a corner.

- Chris's position is relative to Fruity, so two corners are determined there.

- Faru likes a drink (not Sprite), so Faru is at a corner.

Let’s focus mainly on the main question: Faru’s position relative to Esha.

- From the seat assignments and clue structure, Esha is on the edge, Faru is at a corner.

- Given Ganga is third left to Faru, and Dolly is a corner but not neighbor to Bobby (who's at an edge), with drinks and color constraints, when you try mapping everyone step-by-step, you’ll find that if Esha is at an edge, and you count positions starting from her, Faru lands second to the left of Esha.

Here are your options:

1. Second to the left

2. Immediate right

3. Third to left

4. Third to right

5. Immediate left

The correct answer is:

Second to the left

So, second to the left is the right call. The key twist? With opposite-facing edge seats and how third-to-left/third-to-right works around a square (especially with people sitting at both corners and sides), it's a bit easy to mix up “immediate left” and “second left.” Always check the circle and seat direction!
