Six students - Aman, Bobby, Chintu, Geeta, Pranay, and Ram - are sitting around a circular table facing towards the center.
* Ram is sitting second to the right of Geeta.
* Pranay is the immediate neighbor of both Geeta and Bobby.
* Aman is sitting third to the right of Geeta.
Who among the following is the immediate neighbor of both Ram and Bobby?
- APranay
- BChintu
- CAman
- DGeeta
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange the six students around the circular table in 6 positions numbered 1 to 6 in a counter-clockwise direction (where moving counter-clockwise means moving to the right).
1. Let Geeta be seated at position 1.
2. Ram is sitting second to the right of Geeta, so Ram sits at position 3 ().
3. Aman is sitting third to the right of Geeta, so Aman sits at position 4 ().
4. Pranay is the immediate neighbor of both Geeta and Bobby, which means Pranay must sit exactly between Geeta and Bobby.
* Geeta is at position 1. Her immediate neighbors are position 2 and position 6.
* If Pranay sits at position 2, Bobby would have to be at position 3. But position 3 is already occupied by Ram.
* Therefore, Pranay must sit at position 6, and Bobby must sit at position 5.
5. The only remaining empty position is position 2, where Chintu will sit.
The final circular arrangement from position 1 to 6 is:
* Position 1: Geeta
* Position 2: Chintu
* Position 3: Ram
* Position 4: Aman
* Position 5: Bobby
* Position 6: Pranay
We need to find who is the immediate neighbor of both Ram (Position 3) and Bobby (Position 5). Looking at the arrangement, the person between them at Position 4 is Aman.
1. Let Geeta be seated at position 1.
2. Ram is sitting second to the right of Geeta, so Ram sits at position 3 ().
3. Aman is sitting third to the right of Geeta, so Aman sits at position 4 ().
4. Pranay is the immediate neighbor of both Geeta and Bobby, which means Pranay must sit exactly between Geeta and Bobby.
* Geeta is at position 1. Her immediate neighbors are position 2 and position 6.
* If Pranay sits at position 2, Bobby would have to be at position 3. But position 3 is already occupied by Ram.
* Therefore, Pranay must sit at position 6, and Bobby must sit at position 5.
5. The only remaining empty position is position 2, where Chintu will sit.
The final circular arrangement from position 1 to 6 is:
* Position 1: Geeta
* Position 2: Chintu
* Position 3: Ram
* Position 4: Aman
* Position 5: Bobby
* Position 6: Pranay
We need to find who is the immediate neighbor of both Ram (Position 3) and Bobby (Position 5). Looking at the arrangement, the person between them at Position 4 is Aman.
