Question

P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W are sitting around a round table in the same order, for group discussion at equal distances. Their positions are clockwise. If V sits in the North, then what will be the position of S?

• A. South-East
• B. North
• C. East
• D. South
• E. South-West

Hint:

For circular seating with equal distances, divide 360° by number of persons to get the angle between adjacent positions.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

Step 1: 8 persons sitting clockwise in order: P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W.
Step 2: V sits in North. With 8 positions, directions are at 45° intervals: North, Northeast, East, Southeast, South, Southwest, West, Northwest.
Step 3: Clockwise order: Since V is North, moving clockwise: W is Northeast? Let's assign positions clockwise: Starting at V (Nort(h), next clockwise is W (Northeast), then P (East), then Q (Southeast), then R (Sout(h), then S (Southwest), then T (West), then U (Northwest).
Step 4: S is at Southwest? Actually let's list carefully with 8 positions: Position 1: North (V) Position 2: Northeast (W) Position 3: East (P) Position 4: Southeast (Q) Position 5: South (R) Position 6: Southwest (S) Position 7: West (T) Position 8: Northwest (U)
Step 5: S is at Southwest. But Southwest is not an options? optionss: South-East, North, East, South, South-West. South-West is an options.
Step 6: Final Answer: South-West.
