Direction(7-12): Answer the questions based on the information given in the passage belowTen persons, A through J, are sitting around a circular table and are facing the centre. A is sitting opposite to C and G is sitting opposite to H. B is sitting two places away from C. There are 2 people sitting between I and C. I is not adjacent to B. A is sitting to the right of F, who is opposite to E. D, who is not adjacent to B, is sitting opposite to J. C is closer to H than G. Common Solution: From statements i, ii, iii, and iv, we have two cases: Case 1: B is to the right of C. Case 2: B is to the left of C. From statements v and vi, H is exactly between I and J. In case 1, if D is between I and E, J must be between F and B. H cannot be seated exactly between I and J. If D is between I and A, J must be between C and B. H cannot be seated exactly between I and J. Hence, case 1 is not possible. Case 2: B is to the left of C. J must be adjacent to C, and H must be adjacent to I. Hence, D is adjacent to A. How many people are sitting between A and H when counted to the left of A?

Direction(7-12): Answer the questions based on the information given in the passage below



Ten persons, A through J, are sitting around a circular table and are facing the centre.






  1. A is sitting opposite to C and G is sitting opposite to H.


  2. B is sitting two places away from C.




  3. There are 2 people sitting between I and C. I is not adjacent to B.




  4. A is sitting to the right of F, who is opposite to E.




  5. D, who is not adjacent to B, is sitting opposite to J.




  6. C is closer to H than G.



    Common Solution:



    From statements i, ii, iii, and iv, we have two cases:



    Case 1: B is to the right of C.







    Case 2: B is to the left of C.







    From statements v and vi, H is exactly between I and J. In case 1, if D is between I and E, J must be between F and B. H cannot be seated exactly between I and J. If D is between I and A, J must be between C and B. H cannot be seated exactly between I and J.



    Hence, case 1 is not possible.



    Case 2: B is to the left of C.



    J must be adjacent to C, and H must be adjacent to I. Hence, D is adjacent to A.







    How many people are sitting between A and H when counted to the left of A?
