Not getting clearly. Please tell me why we are not taking Deepa, Pankaj, Mukesh, Priti, Lalit and Prakash this sequence.

Data is insufficient to place them. Left/right should be mentioned for Lalit, Dipa, Pankaj and Prity.

The question is not framining properly as multiple seating arrangements possible.

It is apparent that there are two arrangements possible here. Both satisfying the conditions given.

Now, to the question to which one we should choose if we come across such situation in exam, we have two options:

1. Answer choice will not match with your answer, try to find another arrangement if you have time. Obviously, you will choose to find another answer only if you are damn sure.

2. Leave the question. Because, if the data given is not adequate for you, it is not adequate for other examine too. May be after exam, the authority will take any action to compensate.

Both the cases are possible, clockwise and anticlockwise. Is there any preference which should we choose?

They should be mention over there that who is left or right between each other at least one relation is important, admin improve your question level.

The sequence can be also written in Clockwise pattern.
But options will not match !

Both clockwise and anti-clockwise are right !

1> Prakash-> Deepa-> Pankaj.

2> Mukesh-> Priti-> Lalit.

The above two case each can be arranged in clockwise direction and anti-clockwise direction, this is not cleared in the question, but in either of the case, prakash is sitting opposite to mukesh, as directed in the question, but what about the rest, if not stated, should we arrange them in the clockwise direction or in the anti-clockwise direction. ?
