Question

P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W are sitting around a round table in the same order, for group discussion at equal distance. Their positions are clockwise. If V sits in the North, then what will be the position of S?

• A. East
• B. South-east
• C. South
• D. South-west
• E. North

Hint:

Draw circle and mark North first for circular seating problems.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

To solve this problem, we need to determine the position of 'S' when eight people (P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W) are seated around a round table in clockwise order. Given that V is sitting in the North, we need to find the position of S.

The positions of the people in the clockwise order are: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W.

Since these people are seated at equal positions around a round table and it states that V is sitting in the North, we can assign positions based on cardinal directions as we go clockwise:

• V is North.
• W is North-East.
• P is East.
• Q is South-East.
• R is South.
• S is South-West.
• T is West.
• U is North-West.

From the above distribution, we can see that S is sitting in the South-West direction.

Hence, the position of S with V facing North is South-West.
