IBPS SO Prelims Exam Model Paper 7

Persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, and I.
1) F sits fourth to the right of A, who faces the center.
2) E sits second to the right of A.
3) E faces opposite to that of A. (This means that E faces outside the circle).
4) F and E faces the same direction. (This means F faces outside the circle).
5) B sits exactly between E and F.
6) B faces the same direction as A. (This means B faces inside the circle).
On combining these sentences we get the following seating for the people.7) D sits third to the right of H.
8) H faces outside.
9) C sits second to the left of D.
10) Both C and D face in the same direction.
On combining these sentences, we get possible cases for the seating of H.
Case 1: When H sits on the immediate right of A, then D will sit second to the left of A, and D will face Inside the circle, so that C will sit on the immediate left of F, facing inside the circle too.Case 2: When H sits on the immediate left of A and D will sit fourth to the left of A and faces outside the circle, so that C will sit on the immediate right of H and will face outside the circle too.11) G is not an immediate neighbor of C.
Case 1: In this case G will sit between A and D and I will sit on the immediate left of D facing outside the circle, because we know that only four people are facing inside the circle and already (A, B, C, D) are facing inside the circle, which means rest five people (E, F, G, H, I) are facing outside the circle.Case 2: In this case G will sit between A and E, and I will sit on the immediate right of C facing inside the circle, because five people (D, F, E, C, H) are already facing outside the circle, so the remaining all four people (A, B, I, G) will face inside the circle.12. I do not face inside the circle.
From this line our case 2 is eliminated as, I is facing inside the circle.
So the final arrangement is:Hence, F sits second to the left of E.
