Five students M, N, O, P, and Q are sitting around a circular table facing the center. M is sitting between N and P. Q is to the immediate left of P. Who is sitting to the immediate right of O?
M
N
P
Q
N
Fix the reference point (M is between N and P) and place others relative to it to complete the circle.
Fix the reference point (M is between N and P) and place others relative to it to complete the circle.
Establish the anchor
Place M at the bottom. Since M is between N and P, they are on either side. Let us place N to the left of M and P to the right of M.
Place remaining members
Q is to the immediate left of P. With P on the right, the position to his immediate left (moving clockwise toward M) is filled by Q. This leaves only one spot for O.
Final Seating Order
Clockwise order: M, P, Q, O, N. Therefore, to the immediate right of O (moving counter-clockwise) is N.
A: M is sitting opposite to Q, not to the immediate right of O. C: P is to the immediate left of Q, not to the right of O. D: Q is to the immediate left of O, not to the right of O.
B is correct because in a circular arrangement M-P-Q-O-N, moving clockwise, the person to the immediate right of O is N.
In circular arrangements with an odd number of people, always draw a quick sketch to avoid confusion between immediate left and right.
