Reasoningquestions asked inSBI PO 2015 Mains.

In continuation with our article on Sitting Arrangement which
we posted yesterday, here we are posting some tricks to solve
more complicated questions from the topic which are
becoming very common in the recent Banking Exams.
No matter what the model is, the following points are to be
noted in order to solve the questions easily.
Read the entire puzzle and understand the statements
correctly
Identify the statements that give definite information.
For instance let us take three statements and evaluate
them
Statement 1: A is to the left of B.
The data in the statement is basic but not definite as the
statement ONLY says that A is to the left of B. but, it does not
specify where A is located from B.
Statement 2: A is second to the left of B. The data in the
statement is definite as it clearly states that A is placed
second to the left of B.
Someimportantpointstobekeptinmindbefore
solvingthesittingarrangementpuzzlesare:
If A is sitting immediate left of B, it means B is on
immediate right of A.
To avoid confusion of left and rights in circular and other
shapes seating arrangement problems, you should
assume that all people are facing to center (unless and
until they specify the direction).
Its always better idea to assume you are one among

them so that it will be easier for you to get an idea of the

arrangement.
If you are unable to get the idea from a line then better
skip that line and go to next line. You can revisit to the
skipped line after getting another clue.

Persons sitting in a CIRCLE or RECTANGLE or SQUARE facing
AWAY from centre:
Seatedtotheleft=TakeAnticlockwisedirection
Seatedtotheright=Takeclockwisedirection

Such types are problems are solved in the same manner as

the problems for the centre facing people are solved. The
only change in this case is the direction of reference changes
which confuses the candidates.
But now-a-days, questions of some different pattern are
asked in Bank exams like Some people are facing inward
while some of them are facing outwards.
Let us see how to solve such questions without getting panic.

Circular Arrangement Quiz (Part I)

________________________________________________________________________________
Question:
P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in a circle. Five of them are
facing the center while two of them are facing opposite to
the center. R sits third to the left of S and both are facing the
center. T is neither an immediate member of S nor of R. The
one sitting exactly between S and U is facing to the center. V
sits third to the left of P and V is facing opposite to the center.
One of Qs neighbors is facing opposite to the center.
STEPS TO SOLVE THE QUESTION
Draw a circle. Mark all position of objects in the circle.
Note:Fiveofthemarefacingcentermeansfavorableto
usandthenlefttwoarefacingoutwardmeans
unfavorabletous.
Now put S on the middle bottom position of the circle and
position R on left side (Clockwise direction) to S.

T is neither an immediate member of S nor of R. the

statement leaves a single place for T to sit.

The one sitting exactly between S and U is facing to the

center.
Then put U from left of S by leaving one position blank.

V sits third to the left of P and V is facing outside to the

center.
In this case position of P and V is not discussed in reference
to all other objects. So their position can be done by hit and
trial method which is based on most convenient positions.

Now the left place is the only option for Q to sit.

As per the statement, one of Qs neighbors is facing opposite

to the center. This clearly tells us that T is facing opposite to

the centre. And according to the question, since five of them

are facing the centre, so U and Q also face the centre. So, the
