Question

Abhishek, Bineeta, Manisha, Hari, Vaishali, and Gaurav are sitting around a circular table not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing the centre and the remaining are facing away from the centre.

(i) Gaurav sits immediate left of Bineeta (ii) Only Abhishek and Bineeta face away from the centre (iii) Vaishali and Hari are sitting next to each other (iv) There are two people between Hari and Gaurav (v) Abhishek is the neighbour of both Manisha and Gaurav

If Hari and Abhishek interchange their places (having same facing direction) then who among the following sits to the immediate left of Abhishek?

Accepted Answer

A. Facing direction: Only Abhishek and Bineeta face AWAY; Manisha, Hari, Vaishali, Gaurav face CENTRE. Arrangement clockwise: Bineeta (facing away) -> Gaurav -> Abhishek -> Manisha -> Hari -> Vaishali. When Hari and Abhishek interchange positions (so Abhishek is between Manisha and Vaishali facing Centre), Vaishali is to the immediate left of Abhishek.
