Six colleagues sit around a circular table, all facing outside (away from the centre). Seen from above, the clockwise order is Anil, Bhavna, Chitra, Deepak, Esha, Farid. Who sits second to the left of Chitra?
Anil is second to the left of Chitra. Facing outside, each person's left-hand side points anticlockwise, which is the reverse of the clockwise listing. Moving anticlockwise from Chitra gives Bhavna first and then Anil. Esha would be correct only for second to the right.

- BBhavna
- CDeepak
- DEsha
Explanation
For people facing outside, the left-hand side is the anticlockwise direction. From Chitra, moving anticlockwise gives Bhavna (1st) and Anil (2nd). Esha is second to the right of Chitra, which is the result of reversing the direction.

One question tells you little. A timed set on Seating Arrangements shows your real accuracy, how long you take and where you lose marks.
