Questions & Step-by-Step Solutions

If A, B, C, D, and E are seated in a circle and A is not next to B, which of the following statements must be true?
  • Step 1: Understand that A, B, C, D, and E are seated in a circle.
  • Step 2: Recognize that 'not next to' means A cannot be directly beside B.
  • Step 3: Consider the arrangement of the other people (C, D, E) in relation to A and B.
  • Step 4: Realize that since A is not next to B, B can still be next to other people like C, D, or E.
  • Step 5: Conclude that it is possible for B to be next to D, which means the statement can be true in some arrangements.
  • Circular Permutations – Understanding how to arrange objects in a circle and the implications of adjacency.
  • Logical Deduction – Analyzing statements based on given conditions and determining their validity.
