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:

Let’s break down the clues and check who sits where, and then see who likes colors.

- Eight people: Four at corners (facing center), four at edges (facing out).

- Corners like Drinks (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Fruity). Edges like Colors (Black, Blue, Maroon, Green).

- Dolly likes Pepsi and is not a neighbor of Bobby.

- Bobby likes Black (so, he’s on an edge, facing out). He sits to the left of the one who likes Sprite (so Bobby is not at a corner).

- Chris sits fourth to the left of Fruity. On a square table, fourth to the left means directly opposite.

- Arun & Esha are facing away from each other (both at edges, opposite sides).

- Esha doesn’t like Maroon or Green – but since Esha is at an edge (facing away), she must like a color (since only edge spots can have a color).

- Ganga is third to the left of Faru (who likes a drink, but not Sprite).

About the options:

- I. Esha – She is at an edge, faces away from center, so she likes a color. This is true.

- II. Chris – Chris’s position isn’t directly stated, but he is sitting opposite Fruity. "Fourth to the left" can be corner-to-corner or edge-to-edge, but since both corners and edges are possible, more info is needed. But by elimination of drinks/colors at corners/edges and other people's likes, Chris usually ends up at a corner liking a drink, not a color.

- III. Harry – No direct statements about Harry, but from the clues and usual arrangement, Harry is often at a corner.

Checking all clues, Esha is the only one here who surely likes a color.

So, the correct answer is:

Option 3: Only I

Here's why:

- Esha is at an edge, thus likes a color.

- Chris is at a corner (by elimination), likes a drink.

- Harry is also at a corner, so not a color chooser.

In summary:

- Only Esha, among the three listed, likes a color (since only edge-seaters like colors).

- Both Chris and Harry sit at corners (by logic and clues), and corners only pick drinks.
