Seating Arrangement: Bank Exam Practice Questions (SBI, IBPS, RRB, PO & Clerk)
Q. 1 Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow. Eight friends – P, Q, R, S, T, U, V and W – are sitting around a square table. Four of them sit at the corners of the table, while the other four sit in the middle of each side. Those who sit at the corners face the centre, while those who sit in the middle of the sides face outwards. Each of them likes a different subject – Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Maths, English, History, Economics and Geography. Who sits immediately to the left of the person who likes Biology?
Check Solution
Ans: C
Explanation: Without the full set of clues that relate the people to the table positions and the subjects they like, it’s impossible to determine who sits immediately to the left of the person who likes Biology. We need information about who sits where, and what subject each person enjoys.
Q. 2 Direction: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow. Six friends – P, Q, R, S, T, and U – are seated around a circular table facing the center. Each friend has a different favorite subject: History, Geography, Math, Science, English, and Art, though not necessarily in that order. Who sits immediately to the left of the person who likes Math?
Check Solution
Ans: E
Explanation: Without additional information about the seating arrangement and the subjects liked by each person, it is impossible to determine who sits immediately to the left of the person who likes Math. We need clues like “P sits opposite the one who likes History,” or “Q likes Math and sits next to R” to deduce the solution.
Q. 3 Direction: Read the following questions carefully and answer the questions that follow.
There are six friends – P, Q, R, S, T, and U – sitting around a circular table facing the center. Each friend likes a different fruit.
Q is sitting second to the left of S. R sits opposite Q and likes apples. T is sitting second to the right of R and likes bananas. U likes mangoes and sits opposite to T. P does not sit near T. The person who likes Guava sits between S and T. Q likes oranges.
Who sits opposite to the person who likes Guava?
Check Solution
Ans: B
Explanation:
1. **Positions:** We know the friends are sitting in a circle.
2. **R and Q:** R is opposite Q.
3. **T and R:** T is second to the right of R.
4. **U and T:** U is opposite T.
5. **Fruits:**
* R likes apples.
* T likes bananas.
* U likes mangoes.
* Q likes oranges.
6. **Guava:** The person who likes Guava sits between S and T.
7. **P and T:** P does not sit near T.
Let’s deduce the positions:
1. Place R.
2. Place Q opposite R.
3. Place T second to the right of R.
4. Place U opposite T.
5. S must be next to the guava person and T, but since P doesn’t sit near T, S is next to T. And then, the guava person next to S and T.
6. P must be opposite the guava person.
Therefore the answer is the person opposite to the person who likes Guava is S.
Q. 4 Direction: Study the given information carefully and answer the following questions. Eight people – A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H – are sitting in a straight row facing North. Who sits immediately to the right of G?
Check Solution
Ans: D
Explanation: The provided information only states that eight people are sitting in a row facing north. It does not provide any information about their relative positions. Therefore, we cannot determine who sits immediately to the right of G.
Q. 5 If all the persons are arranged in the order of their age, from youngest to oldest, how many persons would remain in the same position as compared to their original arrangement?
Check Solution
Ans: A
Explanation: The question describes a scenario where persons are arranged by age. To answer the question, we need to know the initial arrangement and the arrangement after sorting by age. However, without knowing the original arrangement and the specific order, we can’t determine how many people would remain in the same position. If, for example, person A was the youngest, they would stay in position one. If person B was the second youngest, they would stay in position two. If a third person, C, was third youngest, they would stay in position three, and so on. The number of people remaining in the same position depends entirely on the original arrangement. It’s possible that no person remains in the same position, or that only one person does, or multiple people. Since the original arrangement isn’t defined, we can’t be sure of the answer.
