Answers :

Directions (Q. 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,EitherRam 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

Directions (Q. 6-10):

• All the persons are sitting along the perimeter of the square table at an equal distance between them.
• The perimeter of the square is 320m and the perimeter of the square is 4a, where ‘a’ is the side of the square.
• Distances are considered only on the perimeter of the square table.

Perimeter = 4a =320m (given)

There are 8 persons sitting in a square table. So 320/8 = 40m, which is the distance between two successive person in the group.

• T sits 80m away from P who is not sits at any corner of the table.

• Three person sits between P and V.

• W sits at corner of the table and S sits 40m to the right of W.

• R and Usit opposite to each other.
