Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Six persons A, B, C, D, E and F sit around a circular table facing the centre but not necessarily in the same order. They like different flowers viz. Rose, Daisy, Lily, Jasmine, Marigold and Dahila but not necessarily in the same order.
F sits 2nd to the left of the one who likes Rose. B and the one who likes Rose are immediate neighbours. A faces the one who likes Jasmine and sits near F. C sits 2nd to the left of the one who likes Lily. The one who likes Dahila sits just right of the one who likes Daisy. C and D are not an immediate neighbour.
Who is sitting just right of the person who likes Dahila?
Correct Answer :
A
Solution :
The correct answer is A.
Let us solve the puzzle step-by-step:
Step 1: Understand the Circle Layout
Assume six positions numbered 1 to 6 in a clockwise direction around the circular table. Since all persons face the centre:
Step 2: Place Rose and F
Let the person who likes Rose sit at Position 1.
F sits 2nd to the left of the one who likes Rose. Moving 2 positions clockwise from Position 1, we place F at Position 3.
Step 3: Place B
B and the one who likes Rose (Position 1) are immediate neighbours. Thus, B can be at either Position 2 or Position 6.
Step 4: Place A and Jasmine
A sits near F (Position 3), which means A is at Position 2 or Position 4. A faces the person who likes Jasmine (which is the opposite position, ).
Step 5: Place C and Lily
C sits 2nd to the left (2 positions clockwise) of the one who likes Lily. C and D are not immediate neighbours.
Let us evaluate the remaining available positions for C:
Step 6: Place Daisy and Dahlia
The remaining positions to assign flowers to are Position 3 (F), Position 4 (C), and Position 6 (B). The remaining flowers are Daisy, Dahlia, and Marigold.
We are given that the one who likes Dahlia sits just right (1 position counter-clockwise) of the one who likes Daisy.
Summary of the Seating Arrangement:
| Position | Person | Flower |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | D | Rose |
| 2 | A | Lily |
| 3 | F | Dahlia |
| 4 | C | Daisy |
| 5 | E | Jasmine |
| 6 | B | Marigold |
Step 7: Answer the Question
We need to find who sits just right of the person who likes Dahlia.
The person who likes Dahlia is F (at Position 3). Just right of Position 3 (counter-clockwise) is Position 2, where A sits.
