Question 28
EasyOriginal questionFive friends, Ritu, Pavan, Kusum, Sahil and Tara, sit around a circular table, equally spaced and facing the centre. Pavan sits second to the right of Ritu. Kusum sits immediately to the left of Ritu. Sahil does not sit next to Kusum. Who sits immediately to the right of Ritu?
Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Facing the centre, a person's left neighbour is the next seat clockwise (seen from above) and the right neighbour is the next seat anticlockwise.
Clockwise from Ritu: Ritu, Kusum (her left), _, Pavan (second to her right = two seats anticlockwise), _.
Sahil cannot be next to Kusum, so he takes the seat between Pavan and Ritu, and Tara sits between Kusum and Pavan.
Ritu's right-hand neighbour is Sahil.
Worth noting
Pavan is second to Ritu's right, not first.
