Read the information given below carefully and answer the questions.

‘G’,‘H’,‘I’,‘J’,‘K’,‘L’,‘M’,‘N’ are sitting around a table in the same order for group discussion at equal distances. Their positions are clock wise. If ‘M’ sits in the north, then what will be the position of ‘J’?

Correct Answer: South-west

Let's analyze the given information step-by-step to find the position of person 'J':

1. There are 8 people: G, H, I, J, K, L, M, and N sitting around a circular table at equal distances in clockwise order.

2. Since 8 people are sitting at equal distances around a circle, each adjacent seat is separated by an angle of:

$\frac{360°}{8}=45°$

3. Standard directional positions at intervals of 45° starting from North in clockwise order are:

North → North-East → East → South-East → South → South-West → West → North-West

4. We are given that 'M' sits in the North position.

5. Since the people sit in clockwise order (G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N), we can place each person relative to M:

- M is at North

- N is at North-East (1 step clockwise from M)

- G is at East (2 steps clockwise from M)

- H is at South-East (3 steps clockwise from M)

- I is at South (4 steps clockwise from M)

- J is at South-West (5 steps clockwise from M)

- K is at West (6 steps clockwise from M)

- L is at North-West (7 steps clockwise from M)

6. Alternatively, counting counter-clockwise from M to J:

Going back in sequence: M → L → K → J (3 positions counter-clockwise from North).

Moving 3 positions (3 × 45° = 135°) counter-clockwise from North gives South-West.

Therefore, the position of 'J' is South-west.
