Question

Six students Dhiraj, Mohan, Lokesh, Param, Rohan and Suresh are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre (but not necessarily in the same order). Rohan is sitting second to the right of Suresh. Param is sitting third to the right of Rohan. Param is an immediate neighbour of both Lokesh and Suresh. Mohan and Lokesh are immediate neighbours. Who is the immediate neighbour of both Dhiraj and Mohan?

• A. Param
• B. Suresh
• C. Lokesh
• D. Rohan

Answer 1

Answer:

D. Rohan

Given:

• Rohan is 2nd to the right of Suresh

• Param is 3rd to the right of Rohan

• Param is adjacent to both Lokesh and Suresh

• Mohan and Lokesh are neighbours

(All face centre ⇒ right = anticlockwise)

Step-by-step arrangement:

Place Suresh anywhere.

• Rohan is 2nd to the right → fix Rohan

• Param is 3rd to the right of Rohan → fix Param

• Param is neighbour of both Suresh and Lokesh → so Param sits between them

• Lokesh must sit next to Mohan

After placing all correctly, the valid circular order becomes:

Suresh – Param – Lokesh – Mohan – Dhiraj – Rohan

Now check:

• Dhiraj’s neighbours → Mohan and Rohan

• Mohan’s neighbours → Lokesh and Dhiraj

Common neighbour of Dhiraj and Mohan = Rohan

Final Answer: Rohan
