In a linear arrangement, things or persons are arranged linearly in rows or columns. In a linear arrangement, the right or left of a person depends on which direction the person is facing.
Illustration: Eight persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting in a straight line at equal distances, but not necessarily in the same order. Four of them are facing north and four of them are facing south.
D who is facing south is sitting fourth to the left of H, who is sitting between two persons facing opposite directions to each other. Immediate neighbours of B face the same direction. Neither D nor H sits at the extreme ends. G is sitting third to the left of C and is sitting at one of the extreme ends. A and D are immediate neighbours and face opposite directions to each other. E is sitting to the immediate right of G, who is fifth to the left of F. D and G face the same direction.
Who is sitting exactly between the B and E?
A. C,D B. C,H C. G,C D. A,F E. None of these
Answer: B
Solution: According to the first statement it is given that D who is facing south is sitting fourth to the left of H. and also D does not sit at the extreme ends. The two possibilities are shown in the figure I and figure II.
Figure I |
Figure II |
In the statement it is given A and D are immediate neighbours and face opposite directions to each other. So according to the figure I the two possibilities are shown in Figure III and Figure IV
Figure III |
Figure IV |
and according to Figure II the two possibilities are shown in Figure V and Figure VI
Figure V |
Figure VI |
In the statement it is given G is sitting third to the left of C and is sitting at one of the extreme ends. So according to the figure III the possibility is shown in Figure VII and according to the figure IV the possibility is shown in Figure VIII
Figure VII |
Figure VIII |
And according to the figure V the possibility is shown in Figure IX and according to the figure VI the possibility is shown in Figure X. G cannot be placed at the other end otherwise C could not be placed according the position given in the statement.
Figure IX |
Figure X |
In the statement it is given E is sitting to the immediate right of G. So accordingly the figure VII , Figure VIII are eliminated because that position is occupied by H. So according to the figure IX the possibility is shown in Figure XI and according to the figure X the possibility is shown in Figure XII.

Not more than two people likes same colour sit together. Two people sit between N and T, who likes yellow. Four people sit between T and Q, who doesn’t sit to the left of N. O sits immediate left of T. Both the immediate neighbor of N likes Green. S sit second to the left of M. Both the immediate neighbors of O faces in opposite direction as O. P is not an immediate neighbor of N but likes Green. Only two people sit left of V. S faces in opposite direction as X. N faces towards south. Not more than two people sit between Q and V, who likes Green. M sit second to the left of W, who sits third to the right of R. W likes Green. Only two people sit between U and R, who is not an immediate neighbor of V. Neither O nor M sit at any extreme end of the line. Q likes Yellow. U sits right of O. Who among the following sits third to the left of W? | |||
