Daily Olympiad: Logical Reasoning - Seating Arrangement [20260523] – 8 Practice Problems & Printable PDF

1. Eight people (A–H) sit around a circular table facing the center. B sits second to the left of G. C is third to the right of D. F is not adjacent to D. E is immediate neighbor of D and H. Who sits to the immediate right of A?

A. B B. C C. D D. F

Solution

Correct: B

Constructing the arrangement step-by-step: Fixing positions via relative clues. B and G positions are determined, then D and E-H cluster. C's third-right position from D locks remaining seats. F's exclusion from D's adjacency completes the pattern.

2. Six people (P–V) sit in a row facing north. Q is equidistant from R and S. P is second to the left of T. U is adjacent to V but not at any end. How many positions are possible?

A. 1 B. 2 C. 3 D. 4

Solution

Correct: A

Row arrangements require testing permutations respecting all constraints. Q's equidistance condition narrows R/S placement. P-T positioning splits possibilities. U-V adjacency creates only one stable configuration after all conditions are applied.

3. Ten people sit in two parallel rows (5 each), Row1 facing south, Row2 north. X is third to left of Y. Z is diagonally adjacent to W. M and N face opposite directions. Who is second to the right of O?

A. L B. M C. N D. P

Solution

Correct: C

Parallel row arrangements require aligning row positions through directional clues. Diagonal adjacency between Z and W creates a fixed pair. Opposite-facing constraint reduces options for M/N positions. Tracing O's neighbors yields the correct second-right candidate.

4. Nine people sit in a 3×3 square, each corner and center occupied. A is adjacent to B (not diagonally). C is at a corner adjacent to D. E is opposite F. Who is in center if G is at a corner?

A. C B. D C. E D. F

Solution

Correct: B

Grid arrangements require considering adjacency rules. A-B relation fixes corners, C-D constraints reduce corner possibilities. Opposite pairs E-F narrow candidates for central position when G's corner placement is factored in.

5. Twelve people sit around a hexagon (2 per side). Each side has one facing center and one outward. P is center-facing. Q is opposite R, who is outward-facing. S sits adjacent to T and U. Who is opposite P?

A. R B. S C. T D. U

Solution

Correct: A

Hexagonal arrangements with facing directions create layered constraints. P's position fixes center-facing alignment. Opposite Q–R placement and S's adjacency to T/U narrow possible configurations. Systematic elimination identifies P's opposite.

6. Seven people (M–Y) sit in two concentric circles: inner 4, outer 3. All face center. X is between Y and Z. W is in outer circle adjacent to M. V is not opposite U. Who is fourth to the right of T?

A. T B. U C. V D. X

Solution

Correct: D

Concentric circle arrangements involve inner-outer connections. X-Y-Z sequence anchors a cluster. W's adjacency to M reduces placements. Tracing fourth-right direction from T requires building full circular relationships.

7. Five people (A–E) sit in a U-shape (4 sides). A faces B diagonally. C is second to left of D. E is at a corner. Who sits at the middle of the open side?

A. C B. D C. E D. A

Solution

Correct: B

U-shape arrangements have three sides with two open ends. A-B diagonal fixes corner positions. C-D's relative position and E's corner placement force open-side middle to be unoccupied by C/D/E/A through elimination.

8. Eight people (P–W) sit in two concentric square tables (4 people each). Inner square faces center, outer faces opposite. Q is second to the right of R (in inner). S is adjacent to T in outer. V and W are not adjacent. Who is diagonally opposite U?

A. R B. S C. T D. V

Solution

Correct: C

Concentric squares require tracking inner/outer facing directions. Q-R relationship anchors the inner square. S-T adjacency and V-W non-adjacency constraints fix remaining positions. Diagonal opposition calculation determines the correct pair.
