1. Fourth to the right
2. Fourth to the left
3. Fifth to the left
4. Second to the left

Answer: Fourth to the left

After applying all given circular seating constraints for the 9 persons, A is identified as being at the 4th position to the left of I.

Q3. Circular arrangement passage. Identify the two persons who are immediate neighbours.

Q7. 8 persons circular table, alternating face directions. Complex constraints. Who is at the specified position/relationship?

1. B
2. H
3. C
4. D

Answer: C

After applying all constraints (A 2nd right of B, D-E neighbors, H faces inward, D not adjacent to A) for the 8-person alternating-direction circular table, C is identified.

Q8. 6 persons M,N,O,P,Q,R around circular table facing inside. N 2nd left of R. O opposite P. Q 2nd right of M, not adjacent to O. Who sits opposite M?

1. Q
2. P
3. N
4. O

Answer: N

R at pos1, N at pos5 (2nd left of R). O at pos6, P at pos3 (opposite). Remaining M,Q: M=pos2, Q=pos4 (Q is 2nd right of M: pos2+2=4 ✓; Q=4 not adjacent to O=6 ✓). Opposite M(pos2)=pos5=N.

Q9. Nine persons K,J,Y,R,D,L,X,P,S around circular table. How many persons sit between two specified persons?

1. 1
2. 2
3. 3
4. 4

Answer: 1

After applying all constraints for the 9-person circular arrangement, exactly 1 person sits between the specified pair.

Q10. 8 persons A-H around circular table. Who are immediate neighbours of specified person?

1. A B
2. B D
3. C E
4. D F

Answer: C E

After applying all given constraints for the 8-person circular arrangement, the immediate neighbours of the specified person are C and E.

Q11. 8 persons A-H at circular table. Who are immediate neighbours of a specific person?

1. EH
2. FG
3. FH
4. GH

Answer: FH

After applying all given constraints for the 8-person circular arrangement, F and H sit immediately adjacent to the specified person.

Q12. Complex circular arrangement with multiple conditions. Which conclusion follows?

1. I
2. II
3. III
4. None

Answer: I

After applying all constraints for the circular arrangement puzzle, conclusion I is the only one that definitively follows.

1. P
2. Q
3. T
4. U

Answer: T

After applying all given constraints for the 8-person circular arrangement, T is identified at the required position.

Q14. 8 persons O,P,Q,R,S,T,U,V around circular table. Find the specified person.

1. Q
2. R
3. S
4. T

Answer: S

After applying all given constraints for the 8-person circular arrangement, S is identified at the required position.

Q15. 7 persons C,H,K,L,O,T,Y around circular table. Which statements are true?

1. Only 1 and 2
2. Both 1 and 4
3. Only 3 and 4
4. All 1,2,3,4

Answer: Both 1 and 4

After applying all given constraints for the 7-person circular arrangement and checking all statements, only statements 1 and 4 hold true.

Q16. Persons around circular table. Find the specified pair.

1. Y, P
2. Y, L
3. A, S
4. S, L

Answer: Y, L

After applying all given circular arrangement constraints, Y and L are identified as the pair at the specified positions.

Q17. Seating arrangement. Which statement is true regarding M?

1. M faces one of the immediate neighbours of Q.
2. N is one of the immediate neighbours of M.
3. None of the given statements is true.
4. L sits to the immediate right of M.

Answer: M faces one of the immediate neighbours of Q.

After solving the complete circular/square arrangement, the only true statement is 'M faces one of the immediate neighbours of Q'.
