Techniques to solve Sitting arrangements reasoning Set 1

Techniques to solve Sitting arrangements reasoning Set 1 So, there you have it dear friends, in puzzles and seating arrangement – nothing beats practice – there are ‘ways or methods’ to solve these sums – but ultimately there is no ‘shortcut’ trick’. Although I have shared technique to solve “Circular Sitting arrangements” here. We will discuss the ‘ways’ to solve seating arrangement sums as properly as possible! 1. The kinds: There can be two ways of seating people in a circle (could be a square too – doesn’t make a difference), where people are sitting:- (i) facing inwards – towards the centre of the circle, (ii) facing outward – away from the centre of the circle. 2. When facing inwards: Where all the persons to be arranged face the centre – then i. all their ‘rights’ is in the anti-clockwise direction, ii. their ‘lefts’ is in the clockwise direction. So, when they ask who’s to the left of D, in the above diagram – close your eyes – picture yourself to be D – answer will be A. If picturing in the head is confusing – take the rough sheet you’ve drawn the diagram on and turn it around! Turn it around so that D is directly in front of you – so you become D and now according to your left/right direction – answer the questions! Nothing simpler and easier than that!!

When facing outwards: Where all the persons to be arranged face the centre – then i. all their ‘rights’ is in the clockwise direction, ii. their ‘lefts’ is in the anti-clockwise direction. Here too, try visualizing yourself in their places to answer – or else turn the papers around. 4. How to seat them: This is the problem area for most – how to correctly seat Mr. A, B and C! Sitting arrangements reasoning Set 1 Study the following information and answer the questions given below: Eight friends A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a circle, but not necessarily in the same order. Four of them are facing outside and four of them are facing the centre. • E faces outside, both the immediate neighbours of E face the centre. H sits second to the right of E. B sits third to the left of E. • D faces the centre. Both the immediate neighbours of D face outside. • G sits second to the left of A B sits third to the right of H • F is an immediate neighbour of D. C is an immediate neighbour of G. • D is not an immediate neighbour of B Question 1: Who sits to the immediate right of E. a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E Question 2: Who sits to the immediate left of H. a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E Question 3: Who sits to the immediate right of F. a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E Question 4: Who sits diagonally opposite of B. a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E Question 5: Who sits diagonally opposite of E. a) A b) B c) C d) D e) E Question 6: Which of the following is odd man out a) H b) E c) F d) D e) None of these Solution: Practice all 11 sets of advance level Sitting arrangement questions Set 1 circular seating arrangement facing outside Set 2 circular sitting arrangement reasoning tricks Set 3 circular seating arrangement problems Set 4 sitting arrangement reasoning bank po shortcuts Set 5 circular arrangement reasoning tricks Set 6 reasoning sitting arrangement tips Set 7 Circular sitting arrangement shortcut tricks Set 8 how to solve seating arrangement reasoning bank po Set 9 circular seating arrangement problems with solutions Set 10 Linear reasoning seating arrangement tricks Set 11 Linear seating arrangement tricks
