V, O, K, L, S and J are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. L is the immediate neighbour of both O and S. V is sitting second to the left of L. K is sitting to the immediate right of O. O is sitting to the immediate right of L. Who is sitting to the immediate right of J?
K
S
V
L
V
Quick Trick: Fix 'L' first: Since 'L' is between 'O' and 'S', and 'O' is to the immediate right of 'L', 'S' must be to the immediate left of 'L'. Tracing around the circle quickly reveals 'V' sits to the immediate right of 'J'.
Fix 'L' first: Since 'L' is between 'O' and 'S', and 'O' is to the immediate right of 'L', 'S' must be to the immediate left of 'L'. Tracing around the circle quickly reveals 'V' sits to the immediate right of 'J'.
Step 1: Fix L, O, and S around the circle
Since all 6 persons face the center, 'Immediate Right' means anti-clockwise and 'Immediate Left' means clockwise. We are given L is the immediate neighbour of both O and S, and O is sitting to the immediate right of L. Placing L at the top: O is anti-clockwise (right) of L, and S is clockwise (left) of L.
Step 2: Place K and V relative to known positions
K is sitting to the immediate right of O, so place K anti-clockwise next to O. V is sitting second to the left (clockwise) of L. Moving 2 positions clockwise from L places V right after S.
Step 3: Place remaining person J and determine target seat
The remaining vacant seat between K and V must be occupied by J. The full clockwise arrangement starting from L is L -> S -> V -> J -> K -> O. Facing the center, the immediate right of J (anti-clockwise direction) is V.
A: K is sitting to the immediate left of J (clockwise), B: S is sitting second to the right of J, D: L is sitting opposite to J.
C is correct because completing the circular seating arrangement shows V is placed anti-clockwise (immediate right) next to J.
When candidates face the center: Immediate Right = Anti-Clockwise, Immediate Left = Clockwise. Always fix a defined three-member chain (like O-L-S) first to anchor the remaining seats instantly.
