Six people stand around a circular table. P is between Q and R. S is opposite Q. T is to the right of S. Who is opposite P?

  1. Cannot be determined
  2. S
  3. U
  4. T
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. T

1. Around a 6-seat circle, opposite means 3 seats apart. 2. P between Q and R — adjacent. S opposite Q — so S sits 3 seats from Q. 3. P adjacent to Q ⇒ position 2 (if Q=1). Opposite of P (position 2) is position 5. 4. T is right of S — that lands T at position 5 (right of S in clockwise sense). T is opposite P. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.56 (Shift 1, Seating)_

A, B, C, D, E are seated facing north in a row. A is between B and C. D is at the right end. B is at the left end. Who is in the middle?

  1. D
  2. C
  3. E
  4. A
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. A

1. B at left end, D at right end. Row: B, _, _, _, D. 2. A between B and C — A is adjacent to B. Position 2 = A. 3. C adjacent to A on the other side: position 3 = C. E fills position 4. Row: B, A, C, E, D. 4. Wait, A between B and C means C also adjacent to A. So C in position 3. Middle = position 3 = C? Re-check: if "A between B and C" is order B-A-C, middle of 5 = position 3 = C. Selecting B (C) accordingly. 5. Re-reading: "in the middle" of a row of 5 is position 3. With B-A-C-E-D order, middle = C. Answer B. _Source: TSICET 2024 PYQ Q.57 (Shift 1, Seating)_
