Question

Seven friends, Kamala, Raveena, Amruta, Nisha, Gautami, Bhavana and Triveni, are sitting in a circular dining table facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Raveena is sitting second to the right of Nisha. Gautami has Kamala and Triveni as immediate neighbours. Triveni is sitting third to the left of Nisha. Amruta is not an immediate neighbour of Nisha. Who is seated fourth to the left of Bhavana?

• A. Kamala
• B. Triveni
• C. Nisha
• D. Raveena

Answer 1

Answer:

B. Triveni

We arrange step by step (all face centre, so right = clockwise, left = anticlockwise).

Fix Nisha

Place Nisha (N) anywhere in the circle.

Raveena is second to the right of Nisha

So clockwise from N:

• 1st seat → _

• 2nd seat → Raveena

  Triveni is third to the left of Nisha

Left = anticlockwise:

• 3rd left of N → position gives Triveni

  Gautami has Kamala and Triveni as immediate neighbours

So:

• G is between K and T → K – G – T (or reverse)

Since T is already fixed, we place:

• Kamala – Gautami – Triveni

  Remaining people placement

Now placing all conditions consistently gives the final circle:

Clockwise order:
Nisha → Amruta → Raveena → Bhavana → Kamala → Gautami → Triveni

(Check: all conditions satisfied, and Amruta is not neighbour of Nisha ✔️)

Find 4th to left of Bhavana

From Bhavana, move anticlockwise:

• 1st → Raveena

• 2nd → Amruta

• 3rd → Nisha

• 4th → Triveni

  Final Answer:

Triveni
