In a circular arrangement of 7 people, if X is sitting between Y and Z, and A is sitting opposite X, who is sitting next to A?
Step 1: Visualize the circular arrangement of 7 people.
Step 2: Place X between Y and Z. This means Y is on one side of X and Z is on the other side.
Step 3: Since there are 7 people, we can label the positions around the circle. Let's say Y is in position 1, X is in position 2, and Z is in position 3.
Step 4: Now, we need to place A opposite to X. If X is in position 2, then A will be in position 5 (the opposite position in a circle of 7).
Step 5: The remaining positions (4, 6, and 7) will be filled by the other people, which we can label as B, C, and D in any order.
Step 6: Now, we look at the arrangement: Y is in position 1, X in position 2, Z in position 3, A in position 5, and B, C, D in positions 4, 6, and 7.
Step 7: Since A is in position 5, we check the positions next to A, which are positions 4 and 6.
Step 8: Since we have not assigned specific people to positions 4, 6, and 7, we can conclude that one of the people in positions 4 or 6 is sitting next to A.
Step 9: If we assume B is in position 4 and C is in position 6, then B is sitting next to A.
