Logical Reasoning Seating Arrangement Questions
Seating arrangement is usually the pain point of many banking aspirants. Questions are of comprehension type that means based on one figure at least 4-5 questions are asked. It takes fair amount of time but if you get the initial figure right then answering all the questions is piece of cake. Lets start by familiarising ourselves with the basic concepts of sitting arrangement.
Most seating arrangement questions can be divided into the following categories:
- Single row arrangement : The data is given for single row only. These type of questions are the easiest to solve. The only thing to remember is the Left/Right distinction. C is in the middle. A is LEFT of B and D is right of C and so on.
- Double row arrangement : These are comparatively difficult since the amount of information is large. Again the key is to not get confused of the right left directions. Check the double seated arrangement below.
- Circular arrangement : These are the most difficult among all the sitting arrangement questions. The amount of data is large and the information is not very definitive. There are two kinds of positions.
- a) Facing Inwards(Towards the centre) : The right is in anticlockwise direction and left is in the clockwise direction.
- b) Facing Outwards (Away from the centre) : Right is in clockwise direction and left in anti- clockwise direction.
The basic funda is to read all the statements carefully and identifying the connections and the statements which give definite information.
Tips and Tricks for solving Circular Arrangement Questions:
- Draw a circle and mark number (1,2,3…).
- Read the question
- Arrange the information conveyed in every sentence, write it down
- If you find a situation where one person or object can be fixed at 2 different positions then fix it at one position and arrange the rest of pieces accordingly. Now if you manage to arrange every other piece successfully – then the place which you had arbitrarily fixed is the correct place and vice versa.
- Look for pieces with definite information. i.e. whose positions are 100% clear and accurate. This will ensure that those positions are fixed and not available for further rearrangement. After that start putting the other pieces as per given information.
- If some people are facing outward and some facing inward, then mark the places with arrows pointing inward/outward.
