Answers :

Direction (1-5):

• All the persons are sitting along the circumference of the circular table at an equal distance between them.
• The radius(r) of the circle is 70m and the circumference of the circle is 2πr, where π = 22/7.

Therefore circumference = 2*22/7 *70 = 440, and there are 8 persons sits in a table. So 440/8 = 55m which is the distance between two successive person.

• Distances are considered only on the circumference of the circular table.

• Ram sits 110m away from Jack. There are two possible cases, Either Ram sits 110m away from left or right of Jack.

• Rahul sits second to the right of Sanjay who is not an immediate neighbour of Jack.
• Rahul is not an immediate neighbour of Ram.
• For these above statements we have three possible cases for case 2 (case 2a, case 2b, case 2c).

• Joseph sits 55m away from the right of Sanjay.

• Raju and Sam sit opposite to each other.
• Sam sits 110m to the left of Sambhu.
• From the above statement we cannot fix the position for Raju and Sam in case 2a and case 2c. So this case is eliminated.
• Ram doesn’t sits opposite to Rahul.
• So, the Case 2b gets eliminated.
• And finally, we get the following arrangement.

1) Answer: d

2) Answer: c

3) Answer: a

4) Answer: b

5) Answer: c

Direction (6-10):

6) Answer: a

B < K ≤ M=N< R ≤ T > S

7) Answer: b

J ≤ A < D > B ≥ K > N ≥ M

8) Answer: c

Q ≤ E < H ≥ I > J ≥ V = O > Y

9) Answer : d

From option d only we get the possible answer.

10) Answer: C

From option C ( Q ≤ B ≤ S = O > J ) only we get the possible answer
