Six people E, H, K, M, S and U are seated in a circle facing the centre. U and H are immediate neighbours of M. E is the only person sitting between K and S. H is to the immediate right of S. Who is to the immediate right of U ?
Six people E, H, K, M, S and U are seated in a circle facing the centre. U and H are immediate neighbours of M. E is the only person sitting between K and S. H is to the immediate right of S. Who is to the immediate right of U ?
Solution
✅ Correct Option: 3
Let's place the six people around the circle facing the center:
- Start with the direct positional clue: * "H is to the immediate right of S." * Place S at any position, and place H immediately to its right (moving counter-clockwise).
- Use the next clue involving H:
- "U and H are immediate neighbours of M."
- Since H is already placed, M must sit on the other side of H, and U must sit next to M.
- This gives us the continuous sequence: S H M U (moving counter-clockwise).
- Fill the remaining spots:
- "E is the only person sitting between K and S."
- We already have S. To place E between K and S, E must sit to the immediate left of S, and K must sit to the immediate left of E.
- This completes the full circular sequence (counter-clockwise): S H M U K E (back to S).
Conclusion:
Looking at the final arrangement, moving counter-clockwise (to the immediate right of a person facing the center):
- The person to the immediate right of U is K.
