Always draw in Circular arrangements reasoning Set 7It is compulsory to draw diagram. You can’t solve the ‘circular-arrangement’ without drawing diagrams.
Ok, Lot of people are not sitting adjacent to eachother but we can’t use those “negatives” as starting-point to draw a diagram.
Better take the positive statement “B and C are adjacent” as our starting point and proceed.
There are two possible cases
• Either C is on the right side of B Or
• C is on the left side of B.
Now use another positive statement: “F is in the middle of D and C.” Fill this in given cases
New diagrams look like this
Now deal with the negative statements:”A is not adjacent to B or C”
Consider case#1: There are only two seats left: skyblue and orange colored.
But A cannot be seated in skyblue chair, because question statement says “A is not adjacent to B or C”
Therefore A can be seated only in orange chair for case #1 and
Similarly for case #2, A can be seated only in Red chair.
After A is seated, there is only one seat left and only one man (E) is left so we place him in the remaining seat.
Alright all seats are now occupied, which means we’ve to run the checklist. IT serves two purposes
• Incase you made any mistake in arrangement, you’ll find out at this stage OR
• In One of the two cases, all checklist will not ‘pass’ thus we can eliminate one possible case and will be left with final perfect correct arrangement.
