Study Notes: Sitting Arrangement

Circular Arrangement:
In circular arrangement, sitting are of three types:
(1)  Person sitting around a circle, following the centre (I.e. facing towards the centre)
(2) Person sitting around a circle, facing outside the centre.
(3) Person sitting around a circle, facing towards and outside the centre.

Rectangular/Square arrangement:
Similarly Rectangular/Square arrangement sitting are also of three types:
1.      Person sitting around a rectangle/square, facing towards the rectangle/square.
2.      Person sitting around a rectangle/square facing outside.
3.      Person sitting at middle of the sides of the rectangle/square facing inward and person sitting at the corner of the rectangle/square facing outward.                                                 
Or                                                                                                                                                                                         Person sitting at middle of the sides of the rectangle/square facing outward and person sitting at the corner of the rectangle/square facing inward.

Steps for solving circular/rectangular arrangement:
(1) To solve these type of questions, you have to decode the information from question and try to draw information in pictorial format.
(2) In starting, take those information which is 100% sure.
(3)Then try to decode the negative and indirect information.
(4)If there is more than one possibilities in any case, then try to take all possibilities in different diagram.
(5) Eliminate those diagram which violates other information given in the question. And at the end you will get the final diagram.
Note: If in question, it is not mentioned that person is sitting either towards the centre or outside the centre then by default you have to consider that person is sitting towards the centre.

Questions: Study the following information carefully to answer these questions. Eight executives H, I, J, K, L, M, N and P are sitting around a circular table for a meeting. M is third to the right of J and second to the left of K. H is to immediate left of I. P is to immediate right of K. L is third to the left of N.

Solutions:
1.      First information is given, M is third to the right of J and second to the left of K
So, we will decode this information in pictorial form:-


2.      2nd information is H is to immediate left of I. But position of H and I is not known. So, we will skip this step.

3.      3rd  information is P is to immediate right of K and L is third to the left of N.
Now, there will be three condition for seating of L and N


But condition (1) and (3) will be wrong because it is also given H is to immediate left of I.

So, final pictorial form for above question will be:-

Questions: Eight friends –Neeraj, Shivam, Anand, Saurabh, Prashant, Aniket, Rajesh and Prateek – are sitting around a circular table, not facing the centre. Shivam is third to the right of Neeraj, who is second to the right of Aniket.  Prashant is second to the left of Rajesh, who is an immediate neighbour of Aniket. Anand is second to the right of Prateek.


Solution:
Step-I
First information is given that all friends are facing outside the centre and shivam is third to the right of Neeraj. And Neeraj is second to the right of Aniket.



Step – 2
Second information is that Prashant is second to the left of Rajesh, who is an immediate neighbour of Aniket. In this case there will be two possibilities:

But case II (a) will be wrong (x) because it is also given that Prashant is second to the left of Rajesh.


Step – 3
Third information is that Anand is second to the right of Prateek.
So, final diagram will be:


Questions: Study the following information carefully given below:
Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting around a rectangular table in such a way that two persons sit on each side of the table facing the centre. Person sitting on opposite sides are exactly opposite to each other. D faces north and sits exactly opposite of H. A and G sit on the same side. G is exactly opposite of B who is to the immediate right of C. A is next to the left of D. C is to the immediate right of F.

Explanation:
1.      First information is given that two person sits on each side and D faces north and sits exactly opposite of H.

2.      2nd information is that A is next to the left of D. Now, there will be two conditions:-

1st condition will be wrong because it is given that A and G sit on the same side. So, by decoding other information final figure will be:-



Questions: Eight friends Preeti, Anuradha, Anita, Abhilasha, Arti, Vandana, Vidushi and Meena are sitting around a square table. Four of them are sitting in the middle of the sides and facing outward from the centre. Rest are sitting at the corners of the square and facing the centre. Meena is sitting at the corner and is an immediate neighbour of preeti and Anita. Abhilasha sits fourth to the right of Preeti and is not facing the centre. Arti is second to the left of Meena and is an immediate neighbour of vidushi. Vandana is not the neighbour of Anita.

Solution:-
Step – I: First information is that four friends are sitting in the middle are facing outward and four friends sitting at the corner facing the centre. Now, it is given Meena is at the cornerand an immediate neighbour of Preeti and Anita.
So, there will be two case for step – I:


Step -2: Abhilasha is fourth to the right of Preeti and Arti is second to the left of Meena and Arti is an immediate neighbour of Vidushi.

2nd diagram violates other information.


Step – 3 Vandana is not the neighbour of Anita.
So, final diagram will be:


In Previous month edition we have provided part – I of seating arrangement and now part – II in current edition. Now concept of seating arrangement is completed. Hope you have understand the complete of course of action will be provided in next month edition. So, stay connected with competition power…..
