Circular Arrangement MCQ Quiz - Objective Question with Answer for Circular Arrangement - Download Free PDF

Given: Six persons A, B, C, D, E, and F are sitting around a circular table, all facing the center.

Statements:

(I) D is sitting second to the right of A, and only two persons sit between D and C. F is neither an immediate neighbor of C nor sits opposite to A.

Here, position is B is not known yet, therefore people sitting between B and C when counted from the left of B cannot be determined.

(II) The person sitting immediately to the right of E is not B.

Here, position is B and C is not known yet, therefore people sitting between B and C when counted from the left of B cannot be determined.

Combining (I) and (II) D is sitting second to the right of A, and only two persons sit between D and C. F is neither an immediate neighbor of C nor sits opposite to A. The person sitting immediately to the right of E is not B.

Here, three people sit between B and C when counted from the left of B.

Thus, the data in both the statements I and II are together necessary to answer the question.

Hence, "Option 5" is the correct answer.

Given : 

1. Five persons A, B, C, D and E are sitting around a circular table with all of them facing towards the center.

Explanation : 

• Statement (I) → A sits third to right of B. C sits third to right of A.

So, statement (I) is sufficient to answer the question.

• Statement (II) → B sits immediate left of C who sits second to left of A. D does not sit adjacent to B. 

So, 'E' sits immediate left of B.

So, Statement II alone is sufficient, but statement I alone is not sufficient.

Hence, "Option (2)" is the correct answer.

Given:

Five friends, P, Q, R, S and T, are sitting around a circular table facing the centre

Statements:

(I) S sits second to the right of P. T sits to the immediate left of P.

Here, we can get S is second to the left of T.

(II) Only one person sits between Q and R. P sits to the immediate left of R.

Here, we cannot find who sit second to the left of R.

Thus, Data in statement I alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement II is not. 

Hence, the correct answer is "Option 1".

Given: A, B, C, D and E are sitting around a circular table facing the centre.

Statement (I): Only one person sits between D and C. E sits to the immediate right of D.

As position for C with respect to D is not known yet, therefore there are two possible cases.

Case 1) 

Case 2)

Here, position of A is not known yet, therefore the person who sits to the immediate right of A cannot be determined. Thus, data in Statement I alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement (II): B sits to the immediate left of D. Only one person sits between B and E. Only one person sits between E and C. 

Here, C sits to the immediate right of A. Thus, data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question.

Thus, Data in Statement II alone is sufficient to answer the question while data in statement I is not.

Hence, "Option 4" is the correct answer.

Given: C, D, E, F, G and H were six women, sitting around a circular table, equidistant from each other, facing the centre.

1) E was to the immediate right of F.

2) D and E were sitting immediately next to each other.

3) D was to the immediate left of C.

4) G was to the immediate right of C.

5) F and H were sitting immediately next to each other.

So, H among the following was sitting third to the left of D.

Hence, the correct answer is "H".

Statement 1: D is sitting between A and F.

Thus, there is no information given about A and B. So, we can not find who is sitting next to B? Statement 1 is not sufficient to give the answer.

Statement 2: C is sitting between B and F.

Thus, there is no required information given about B. So, we can not find who is sitting next to B? Statement 2 is not sufficient to give the answer.

From statement 1 and 2, we get:

Case 1:

Case 2:

From both the cases, we can see C and A are sitting next to B.

Clearly, both 1 and 2 are sufficient to answer the given question.

Hence, 'option 1' is the correct answer.

We can check the statement one by one.

Statement 1 : Next to L are P and M

Here, information about O and N is not given. Thus, statement 1 alone is not sufficient.

Statement 2 : O is standing to the right of P

Here, information about L, M and N is not given. Thus, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.

Statement 3 : O is standing to the left of N

Here, information about L, M and P is not given. Thus, statement 3 alone is not sufficient.

On combining statement 1 and 2 

Note: Here by combining the statements as given we cannot deduce the required answer. But by considering options given we are assuming ‘right’ as ‘immediate right’ and can deduce the answer.

Hence, “Statements 1 and 2 together are sufficient”.

Given:

Five People: A, B, C, D, and E are sitting around a round table. Some are sitting inwards and some outwards.

From the Statement I:

1. A is to the immediate left of C and second to the right of D.

2. Immediate neighbors of A are sitting facing outside.

3. B is not an immediate neighbor of A.

• We are unable to determine the direction of B in both cases. Also, no case is getting eliminated.

Therefore, statement I alone is not sufficient.

Now,

From the Statement II:

1. E sits second to the left of A, who is to the immediate right of D.

2. Immediate neighbors of D sit facing the center.

3. C is not an immediate neighbor of D. 

• Here, we cannot determine the directions as well as the positions of B and C.

• Here, B is facing the centre. However, case 1 is neither eliminated nor it gives us the direction of B. 
• This leaves us with 2 cases because in case I B could be facing inside or outside.

Therefore, statement II alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Important Points

•  If there are two cases, a conclusion can be drawn only if one of the following conditions are satisfied:

1. One of the cases is eliminated OR
2. Both cases give you the same conclusion.

From Statements I and II:

• Statement I says that A is second to the right of D.
• Statement II says that A is to the immediate right of D.
• Because the position of A is different in both statements, we cannot combine the facts in statements I and II.

Hence, "The facts in both statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question." is the correct answer.

According to the given statements,

Statement I: P sits third to the left of R, who is second to the right of S. T and Q are neighbors of R.

Statement II: T sits second to the right of P.

Here, we can exactly determine the places of T and Q.

Combining both we get,

Four people O, J, S, and H are arranged in a circle having the same distance from each other. Two of them are looking inside the circle and the remaining are looking outside the circle.

From statement I:

I. J is opposite of O and looking outside of the circle.

II. S is looking inside and sits to the immediate left of O.

from combining; I and II statements

III. O is looking in the same direction as J.

When we combine all three statements, we get;

Hence, All the statements are required to answer this question.

Given data:

Six people S, T, U, V, W and X are sitting around a circular table and their face is in the inner direction.

Statement 1: T is to the immediate right of X and immediate left to V.

So, only statement 1 is not sufficient.

Statement 2: Both U and W are not immediately adjacent to V. (Only place left for U and W is immediate left of X and immediate right of S)

So, only statement 2 is not sufficient. 

Hence, 'The facts of both the statements I and II together are not sufficient to answer the question' is the correct answer.

NOTE: The question has been modified as it was erroneous.

According to the given information :

A, B, P, O, and D are standing in a circle.

Statement 1: P stands ahead of D.

Case 1:

Case 2:

• Here, we do not know the position of O.

So, it alone is not sufficient to answer the question.

Statement 2: A stands to the right of D.

Case 1:

Case 2:

• Here, there are 2 different possible positions for O in each of the 2 cases.

So, statement 2 alone is not sufficient.

Combining statements 1 and 2:

Case 1:

Case 2:

• There are still 2 cases left and both show different positions for O.
• Thus, combining statements 1 and 2 are also not sufficient to determine who stands between O and P.

Hence, the correct answer is "Statements 1 and 2 together are

insufficient.".

Option(4) is correct.

The required arrangement is given below:

So, the immediate left of A is E or D.

Hence, the correct answer is an option(4) i.e., Both Statement-1 and Statement-2 are not sufficient to answer the question.

I. J is third to the right of K which is second to the right of L → insufficient (as no information about position of M is obtained)

II. N is opposite to M → insufficient (as no information about immediate left position of M is obtained)

On combining both statements → The diagram for given arrangement will be:

So, immediate left of M is I.

Using statement 1 → Insufficient

Using statement 2 → Insufficient

Using Statements 1 and 2:

Shagun is sitting to the immediate right of Simi.
