Six friends, A, E, H, M, R and S are seated about a round table. Every chair is equidistant from adjacent chairs. R is seated opposite to E. A is seated second to left of H. S is seated immediate left of E.

Which of the following statements is correct as per the information given above?

A. E is the immediate neighbour of M.

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

✅ Drop

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.
