Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

In my last comment, the order of the paragraphs has gone wrong due to technical reasons. So I am reposting it in the correct order.

So, when we start with P in a circle or hexagon, the exact position is not important. You can start by placing P at any point and then relative to it to solve the problem. And it doesn't affect the result.

But in a square table, when people sit in corners as well as in the middle of any side of the table, the points have to be placed carefully.

But even there the starting point can be in East, West, North or South without loss of correctness if nothing is explicitly mentioned.

Whether it will be a corner point or in the middle of a side is important.

how i solve this question when in place of cube circle is thr for example if question is:---->
Six friends P, Q, R, S, T and U are sitting in a circle. P is second to the left of U. Q is neighbour of R and S. T is second to the left of S.
can you give me some tip how i do this type of question bcz when im giving my bank exam everytime im nt able to solve this i got confuse n answer worng

S and T both options are right. It can also be done in two ways and both are correct. If you start making the arrangement from last you will find arrangement as SRTUQP and if you start arrangement from first then the arrangement is SUTPRQ. Both stated in a clockwise manner.

How is this answer is possible if the condition is T is the second to the left of S ? in this condition the answer should be in the arrangement of PSQRUT in clockwise direction. But how is the arrangement of PRQSUT comes as answer?

There is no rule to decide the apex.

Just choose any one as the apex, because seating arrangement around a table is not concerned with the apex or the exact point.

PRQSUTP is same as TPRQSUT if we consider it in clockwise.

I turned the hexagon 90 degree to the right. So P is not at the apex. But the order is the same. Then you would be opposite P. Why is it wrong? there is no rule that one must start from the apex.

@Nandhini.
I too got the same answer as you got. But I analyzed. It is because they are facing center. And to the left of you in a clockwise direction, if you take p you can solve the question.

Why are the answers getting wrong? If I place the items in a position where I wanted to, Is there any procedure to place the items so that I would get the correct answer.

@Aneesh.

The best way is to choose the alphabet that occurs most frequently with other alphabets and arrange it accordingly.

Rest will automatically be arranged.
