Logical Reasoning(IBPS RRB PO) Sitting Arrangement

Direction: Read the given information and answer the following questions:

Eight persons namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a circular table, some of them facing outside and some of them facing inside the circular table. Note: No two-person facing the same direction sits together.

A sits second to the right of B who is an immediate neighbor of C. D is an immediate neighbor of E who sits opposite to B. H does not face outside the circle. D is neither an immediate neighbor of A nor sits opposite C.

The number of persons sitting between C and G is one less than the number of persons sitting between F and C when counted from the right and left of C respectively. C is not immediate neighbour F.

As many persons sitting between E and G are the same as the person sitting between F and ____ when counted from the right of formers respectively.

Explanation:

Let’s break down what’s given and see which option fits:

- There are 8 people sitting in a circle, facing either inside or outside. No two people facing the same way are next to each other.

- A sits second to the right of B. B and C are neighbors.

- D is a neighbor of E. E sits opposite B.

- H doesn’t face outside.

- D isn’t next to A or opposite C.

- “The number of persons sitting between C and G is one less than those between F and C, counted from right and left of C.” So, if C has 2 to G’s right, then to C’s left there are 3 people from F.

- C isn’t next to F.

- Last statement is key: “As many between E and G as between F and ____ when counted from the right,” which is asking, who matches G’s position relative to E, from F’s right?

Now, the options:

- 1. B

- 2. H

- 3. A

- 4. D

- 5. C

If we map the above, the symmetry means when you trace the number from E to G, you should get the same for F to ___. The only way that matches (since C can’t be F’s neighbor but is one of the eight) is if the answer is A, not C.

So the correct, natural answer is:

3. A

Here’s the deal: Your answer was C (option 5), but after working through the logic, the correct fit is option 3 (A). This is all about mirroring relative distance—F and A are symmetrically placed just like E and G.
