Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

If this arrangement is from left to right then it can be Prakash-Deepa-Pankaj-Mukesh-Preeti-Lalit too.

Or even answer Deepa can come from this arrangement, isn't it?

Seating is possible in 2 ways.

I agree, the answer would be Deepa.

Deepa & Lalit are correct as we have two cases, one clockwise and the second is anti-clockwise.

By considering clockwise direct Lalit is the correct answer.

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.

Yes, Deepa is correct because Deepa sitting in between Prakash and Pankaj so the immediate right to Prakash is Deepa.

I also think that Deepa is correct.

@Rajsi,

Yes, both the answers are possible.

Deepa is the correct answer when it check in the clockwise direction.

I am not getting this reasoning trick. Please explain to me clearly.
