CMAT 2022 · Logical Reasoning · Medium · Seating Arrangement

Six students P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting around a Hexagonal table each at one corner and facing the center of hexagon. P is second to the left of U, Q is neighbor of R and S. T is second to the left of S. Who is on the right of R?

  1. A.

    Q

  2. B.

    P

  3. C.

    S

  4. D.

    U

Answer

B

Explanation

Let positions around the table facing center in clockwise order be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

  1. Place S at 1. Since all face center, left is clockwise and right is counter-clockwise.
  2. T is second to the left of S   ⟹  \implies T is at position 3.
  3. Q is neighbor of R and S   ⟹  \implies Q must be adjacent to S at position 6 (or 2). Since T is at 3, Q at 6 gives R at 5.
  4. P is second to the left of U   ⟹  \implies U at 4, P at 2.

Arrangement in clockwise order: S(1), P(2), T(3), U(4), R(5), Q(6).

Looking at R (facing center): right of R is counter-clockwise, which is position 2, occupied by P.
