Question

Seven people P, U, L, M, A, G and E are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). P is sitting third to the left of M. G is sitting second to the right of M. Only one person is sitting between M and A when counted from the left of M. L is sitting to the immediate right of G. Only one person is sitting between L and E . Who is sitting to the immediate left of U?

• A. A
• B. M
• C. P
• D. G

Answer 1

Answer:

A. A

Let’s carefully recheck — this type can be tricky with directions.

Since all are facing the centre:

• Left = clockwise

• Right = anticlockwise

  Step-by-step arrangement:

1. Fix M anywhere.

2. P is third to the left of M → 3 steps clockwise from M.

3. G is second to the right of M → 2 steps anticlockwise from M.

4. L is immediate right of G → 1 step anticlockwise from G.

5. A is second to the left of M (one person between) → 2 steps clockwise from M.

6. Only one person between L and E → place E accordingly.

After placing all, the remaining seat goes to U.

Final arrangement (clockwise):

M → A → P → U → E → G → L

Now, the person immediately to the left of U (clockwise) is:

A

Final Answer: A
