Verbal Reasoning - Seating Arrangement - Discussion

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.

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.

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.

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.

How to decide that 1st position of you.

How we decide that p is at apex?

@Luvii khanna. They face the center hence let S is U and then T.

@Ade. Even if you clockwise the person sitting opposite will not change. You have to choose the opposite person. Look diagonally.

URQSPT why is this arrangement not correct?

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?

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.

@vicky you need to start in clockwise direction is better and anticlockwise also possible if you have

ans is in clockwise direction start from U,T,P,R,Q,S
