Seating Arrangements \u2013 CA Foundation Logical Reasoning Questions<\/h2>\n

Definition :<\/strong><\/p>\n

The process of making an arrangement of a group of persons to sit according to a prefixed (pre-planned) manner is called Seating Arrangement. In seating arrangement Questions, some conditions are given & on the basis of those conditions, students are required to arrange those things.<\/p>\n

Pattern or Types of Seating Arrangements:-<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Linear Arrangement;<\/li>\n
  2. Circular Arrangement;<\/li>\n
  3. Polygon Arrangement.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Some General instructions to solve seating arrangement questions:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Review all informations given in the question.<\/li>\n
    2. Recognise \u2018definite information\u2019; \u2018comparative information\u2019 and \u2018negative information\u2019.
      \n(a) \u201cPerson A is sitting on the left end of the bench\u201d is a definite information.
      \n(b) \u201cPerson B is sitting immediate right to C\u201d is an example of Comparative information.
      \n(c) \u201cPerson C is not sitting on the immediate right of D\u201d is an example of negative information.<\/li>\n
    3. \u00a0A negative information does not tell us anything definitely but gives an idea to eliminate a possibility.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Golden Rules<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Rule 1: Always start the arrangement with 100% fixed i.e. confirmed i.e. definite information.<\/p>\n

      Example: There are 8 persons A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H are sitting around a round table. A is sitting 3rd to the right of B, C is sitting opposite to D who is 3rd left to the person opposite to A .
      \n…… so on. If the question is like this then students should start with A is sitting 3rd to the right of B. Because this is only the definite or confirmed information.
      \n\"Seating
      \n\"Seating
      \nNote: If nothing is mentioned in the question regarding the direction i.e. they are facing towards centre or facing away from centre then by default we should take it as facing towards centre.<\/p>\n

      \"Seating<\/p>\n

      Rule 2: For a closed figure (circle, square, rectangle, octagon etc..,) arrangement, Only persons sit opposite to each other when there are even number of members.
      \n\"Seating
      \nIn a given arrangement if four persons are given as in first diagram then two persons can be accommodated exactly opposite to each other but not in case of figure (ii)<\/p>\n

      Rule 3: \u201cAnd\u201d verses \u201cWho\u201d
      \nIn a given question if it is given as \u201cIn a circular arrangement, there are four persons A, B, C, D sitting in the following way. A is right of B who is left of C\u201d
      \n\"Seating
      \nIn this case Who refers to B: Thus A is placed right to B and B is placed left to C.<\/p>\n

      In a circular arrangement, there are four persons A, B, C, D sits in the following way. A is right of B and is left of C
      \n\"Seating
      \nIn this case And refers to A: Thus A is placed left to C as well as right to B.<\/p>\n

      \"Seating<\/p>\n

      Rule 4: Left vs Immediate left
      \nEither in circular arrangement or in linear arrangement unless it is mentioned in the question we cannot assume left or an immediate left.<\/p>\n

      Example: There are 5 persons namely A, P, X, Y, Z standing in a row. No one sits left to the vowel.<\/p>\n

      Only 3 persons are to the right of X. X sits immediate left of Y and left to Z. Z does not sit at extreme ends.
      \n\"Seating
      \nIn the Above arrangement, X is immediate left to Y, whereas X is left to Z. No matter how many places far from Z but it is left to Z.<\/p>\n

      Rule 5: Identifying the left and right in a given arrangement For Circular \/ closed figure:
