Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circular arrangement of 6 people, if X is sitting between Y and Z, and W is sitting opposite to Y, who is sitting next to W?
  • Step 1: Identify the people involved: X, Y, Z, and W.
  • Step 2: Understand that X is sitting between Y and Z. This means the arrangement is Y-X-Z.
  • Step 3: Since there are 6 people in total, the arrangement is circular. We can visualize it as a circle.
  • Step 4: Place Y at one position in the circle.
  • Step 5: Place X next to Y and Z next to X, forming the sequence Y-X-Z.
  • Step 6: Now, since W is sitting opposite to Y, we need to find the position directly across from Y.
  • Step 7: In a circle of 6, if Y is at position 1, W will be at position 4 (the opposite position).
  • Step 8: The remaining positions in the circle are 2, 3, 5, and 6. Since Z is next to X, Z must be at position 3.
  • Step 9: The only remaining positions are 2, 5, and 6. Since W is at position 4, the person next to W can only be Z at position 3.
