Who among the following is odd one out ........

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 walk through this step by step:

- Eight people around a square table: Four at corners (facing in), four at the center of edges (facing out).

- Corners: Like different drinks (Coke, Pepsi, Sprite, Fruity).

- Centers: Like different colors (Black, Green, Maroon, Blue).

Key clues:

- Dolly likes Pepsi, isn’t near Bobby (Black color).

- Bobby sits to the immediate left of Sprite-liker.

- Chris sits fourth to the left of Fruity-liker.

- Coke-fan isn’t Bobby’s neighbor.

- Arun and Esha face away from each other (opposite each other). Esha doesn’t like Maroon or Green.

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

- Green or Maroon-liker can't sit between Dolly and Faru.

Now, the odd one out:

1. Arun

2. Harry

3. Ganga

4. Bobby

5. Esha

Get this: The odd one is usually the one who doesn’t fit a set. Here, four like drinks (corners), four like colors (edges). If we check everyone’s info, Bobby likes Black (a color), isn’t at a corner. Ganga and Harry’s info maps to drinks/colors, depending on placements.

What this really means: If you compare the options, three (Arun, Ganga, Esha) are strongly hinted at being at corners (drinks), while Bobby is a color, and Harry’s info lines him up for a drink too. So Bobby is odd – he’s definitely a color-person, not a drink-person.

So the correct answer is:

Option:4, Bobby

Summary:

- Bobby stands out by liking a color while others in the options like drinks.

- Dolly/Pepsi and Faru (not Sprite) plus the corners/colors arrangement confirm Bobby’s uniqueness.

- That’s why Bobby is the odd one.
