Correct Answer: RaviYour Answer: C

Explanation

Number the five seats from left to right because everyone faces North. Place Tarun at seat 1 from the extreme-left clue. Uma is second to the right of Tarun, so Uma must occupy seat 3. Pooja is immediately left of Uma, fixing Pooja at seat 2. Place Ravi at extreme-right seat 5; consequently Sana, immediately left of Ravi, occupies seat 4. The completed arrangement is Seat 1: Tarun | Seat 2: Pooja | Seat 3: Uma | Seat 4: Sana | Seat 5: Ravi. The question asks: Who sits at the extreme right? Tarun is incorrect because Tarun occupies seat 1, which does not satisfy the requested position. Pooja is incorrect because Pooja occupies seat 2, which does not satisfy the requested position. Uma is incorrect because Uma occupies seat 3, which does not satisfy the requested position.

Sitting Arrangement FAQs

Common questions and clear answers for this topic.

What is a Sitting Arrangement question in reasoning?

Sitting Arrangement questions provide positional clues about people seated in a row, circle or other layout. The solver constructs one arrangement satisfying every clue and answers questions about positions, neighbours and gaps.

How should I start solving a linear seating arrangement?

Draw numbered seats, mark fixed ends and exact positions first, then join immediate-neighbour clues into blocks. Place remaining people through elimination and verify every original statement on the completed row.

How does facing direction affect left and right?

For people facing North, their left and right match the reader's view; for people facing South, they reverse. In a circle, inward and outward facing conventions must be fixed before applying any left-right clue.
