There are various models in the seating arrangement. * Single row arrangement * Double row arrangement * Circular arrangement/ Rectangular arrangement Irrespective of the models, the following points to be noted in order to solve the questions easily. 1. Read the entire puzzle and understand the statements correctly 2. Identify the statements that give definite information For instance let us take three statements and evaluate: Statement (a): A is to the left of B. The data in the statement is basic but not definite as the statement ONLY says that A is to the left of B. but, it does not specify where A is located from B. Statement (b): A is second to the left of B. The data in the statement is definite as it clearly states that A is placed second to the left of B. Statement (c): T is between Q who plays football and P in order of seating in a row. It can be understood as 'T is between Q and P. So, they may be seated as QTP or PTQ (so, the data is not definite) and 'Q plays football'. 3. Search for the connecting information 4. Figure out the seating arrangement by clearly identifying the directions. Persons sitting in a row all facing same direction: second to the left of H. Now, let us discuss how to understand the statements correctly: The meaning of the statement (a): E is to the immediate right of A. A is second to the right of G. The meaning of the statement (c): F is third to the right of C. F is second to the left of H. Normally, we will be tempted to solve the question by picking up point by point from first. But, that is not correct. We should be careful in selecting the points to solve the puzzle by searching for definite information. Here, though (a) and (c) are definite points, we have to pick up (c) first as this point is connected to the point (b) (as 'C' and 'H' are discussed in both the points). In case, we take point (a) it is difficult to solve the question. Solution: G H F ↓ ↓ SEATING ARRANGEMENT Who sits between N and I? ↓ Senior Faculty in Reasoning, Hyderabad. ↓ K. M.
