B. H is seated opposite to M.
C. H is not seated next to S.
D. A is seated next to R.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below:
Solution
Fix E at any position. Since R is opposite E, place R three seats away.
Now use the two "left" clues consistently:
- S is immediately left of E.
- A is second to the left of H.
This gives the circular arrangement, up to rotation/reflection, as:
E → S → H → R → A → M
Now check the statements:
A. E is the immediate neighbour of M. → True
B. H is seated opposite to M. → True
C. H is not seated next to S. → False, H is next to S.
D. A is seated next to R. → True
So the correct combination should be A, B and D only.
But that combination is not present in the options.
Hence, NTA cancelled this question. Someone should cancel NTA instead, sigh.
