Aavya is seating to the immediate right of Veena.
Question: 1

Who is sitting to the fourth right of Yaana?

Show Solution

The Correct Option is D

Solution and Explanation

To solve the question of "Who is sitting to the fourth right of Yaana?" in the given seating arrangement, we need to carefully place each friend in their correct position based on the clues provided. Let's analyze the information step-by-step:

  1. Understanding the Scenario:
    There are seven friends: Zora, Yaana, Veena, Umang, Tina, Aavya, and Christy sitting around a circular table facing outward, which means their left and right designations are going around the table counter-clockwise. 
  2. Clue Analysis:
    Using the clues provided:
    • Tina is second to the left of Aavya.
    • Zora is seated to the right of Umang.
    • Christy is seated second to the left of Tina.
    • Tina is sitting between Veena and Yaana.
    • Aavya is sitting to the immediate right of Veena.
  3. Placing the Individuals:
    • Start by placing Veena. Let’s assume Veena is at position 1.
    • According to the clue, Aavya is immediately to the right of Veena, meaning Aavya is at position 2.
    • Tina is second to the left of Aavya. Since they are facing outward, Tina is at position 7.
    • Christy is second to the left of Tina, putting Christy at position 5.
    • Tina is sitting between Veena and Yaana, so Yaana is placed at position 6.
    • This leaves Zora and Umang for positions 3 and 4. Since Zora is seated to the right of Umang (outward facing), Umang is at position 3, and Zora is at position 4.
  4. Final Arrangement:
    The final seating order based on the clockwise direction from Veena is: 
     
PositionFriend
1Veena
2Aavya
3Umang
4Zora
5Christy
6Yaana
7Tina
  1. Finding the Solution:
    From Yaana’s position (6), moving four seats to the right:
    • 1st seat: Position 7 (Tina)
    • 2nd seat: Position 1 (Veena)
    • 3rd seat: Position 2 (Aavya)
    • 4th seat: Position 3 (Umang)
  2. Conclusion:
    The correct answer is Umang.

Question: 2

Who is sitting to the fourth left of Zora?

Show Hint

In a circular arrangement of \(N\) people, the \(4^{th}\) to the left is the same as the \((N-4)^{th}\) to the right. Here \(N=7\), so \(4^{th}\) Left = \(3^{rd}\) Right. Checking \(3^{rd}\) Right of Zora (4 \(\rightarrow\) 5 \(\rightarrow\) 6 \(\rightarrow\) 7) also gives Tina.

  • Yaana
  • Christy
Show Solution

The Correct Option is A

Solution and Explanation

To determine who is sitting to the fourth left of Zora, we need to arrange the seven friends around a circular table based on the given clues:

  1. Tina is second to the left of Aavya. 
  2. Zora is sitting to the right of Umang.
  3. Christy is seated second to the left of Tina.
  4. Tina is sitting between Veena and Yaana.
  5. Aavya is sitting to the immediate right of Veena.

Let's solve this step by step:

  • Place Aavya at any position on the circular table since her exact position is not specified.
  • According to clue 1, Tina must sit second to the left of Aavya. Therefore, if Aavya is at position 1, Tina should be at position 3.
  • According to clue 5, Veena sits immediately to the left of Aavya. Therefore, Veena is at position 7.
  • According to clue 4, Tina is between Veena and Yaana. With Veena at position 7, Yaana must be at position 4.
  • According to clue 3, Christy is seated second to the left of Tina. Thus, Christy is at position 1.
  • According to clue 2, Zora is sitting to the right of Umang. By process of elimination and arranging others, if we place Zora at position 6, then Umang will be at position 5.

Final arrangement:

PositionPerson
1Christy
2Zora
3Tina
4Yaana
5Umang
6Aavya
7Veena

Using this configuration, to find out who is sitting to the fourth left of Zora:

  1. Start from position 2 (Zora's position),
  2. Move left by four positions: 1 (Christy) → 7 (Veena) → 6 (Aavya) → 5 (Umang),
  3. Finally, you arrive at position 3, where Tina is seated.

Conclusion: The person sitting to the fourth left of Zora is Tina.
