Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

In a circular arrangement of 5 friends, if A is not next to B, and C is sitting next to D, who must be sitting next to A? (2020)
  • Step 1: Understand that there are 5 friends sitting in a circle: A, B, C, D, and E.
  • Step 2: Note that A cannot sit next to B.
  • Step 3: Recognize that C must sit next to D.
  • Step 4: Since A cannot be next to B, we need to find a position for A that is not next to B.
  • Step 5: Place C next to D in the circle. This means C and D are together.
  • Step 6: The remaining friends are A, B, and E. Since A cannot be next to B, A must sit next to E.
  • Step 7: The only option left for A is to sit next to C, since C is next to D.
