PREPARATORY PAPER-102 (MODERATE)

Direction (Qs.1-5): Study the following information and answer the questions.

 

Eight friends D, E, F, G, H, I, J and K are sitting around a circular table. Some are facing the centre while some are not facing the centre (i.e., in a direction opposite the centre).

 

G sits third to the right of E. H sits second to the left of E. The immediate neighbours of E face the same direction (if one person is facing the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice versa). F sits second to the left of H. H faces the centre. I sits third to the right of F. J sits second to the left of K. K is not an immediate neighbour of E. J faces the same direction as G. The immediate neighbours of H face opposite directions (that if one person is facing the centre then the other facing outward and vice versa). The immediate neighbours of I face opposite direction (that if one person is facing the centre then the other facing outward and vice versa).

 

Note: Same Direction means if one person is facing the centre then the other also faces the centre and vice versa. Opposite Direction means that if one person is facing the centre then the other facing outward and vice versa.
