Best example to revise Reasoning Short Cut Trick to solve North South Face to Face Sitting Arrangement Puzzles questions

Question 1: (SBI PO 2013)

Twelve persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing six people each in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In row -1 A, B, C, D, E and F are seated and all of them are facing South. In row-2, P, Q, R, S, T and V are seated and all of them are facing North. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row.

V sits third to right of S. S faces F and F does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line. D sits third to right of C. R faces C. The one facing E sits third to right of P. B and P do not sit at the extreme ends of the line. T is not an immediate neighbor of V and A is not an immediate neighbor of C.

Solution: By applying REVERSE METHOD

1.      Total Objects =12 in which 06 in Row-1 & 06 in Row 2.

Draw two parallel straight lines with arrows total six Upwards direction (shows objects facing North) and downward direction (shows objects facing South). Mark all position of objects in these two parallel straight lines same as shown in step 1 in Figure 1 provided at the top of the page.

Note:

Those objects that represent upward direction (Facing North) say P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are favorable to us and those objects that represent downward direction (Facing South) say A, B, C, D, E and F are unfavorable to us. Take P, Q, R, S, T, U and V to bottom parallel straight line facing north and A, B, C, D, E and F to top parallel straight line facing south same as shown below figures.

2.      Read the statement line by line (right to left) and write the arrangement as per statement.

a.       V sits third to right of S. S faces F and F does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line

Left ß---------V--------à Right

F (Not at extreme end            )

|

S x x V                                    (favorable-facing north-shown by upward direction arrows)

Now put V at the extreme ends of at the bottom arrows of straight lines. Then put S third to the left of V facing F on the top line (facing downward arrow) same as shown in Step 2 in Figure 2.

b.      D sits third to right of C. R faces C.

Rightß---------C--------à Left

D x x C            (unfavorable-facing south-shown by downward direction arrows)             |                      

                           R

Now position of C & D is unknown which is left to be considered after positioning of next objects. (see the Reminder)

c.       The one facing E sits third to right of P.

E         

|

  P x x ?                       (favorable-facing north-shown by upward direction arrows)

Now put P in appropriate position so that third to the right will be ? which will face E. Thus appropriate position of P will be second to the left. Now Put P, ? and E same as shown in Step 3 in Figure 2.

Reminder:

Now put D in appropriate position so that third to the right is C faces R. Thus appropriate position of D will be first to the left in the top straight line. Now Put D, C and R same as shown in Step 4 in Figure 2.

d.      B and P do not sit at the extreme ends of the line.

B & P – Not at the extreme ends

In this case position of P is verified at the extreme ends and B is to be searched which is found second to the left of top straight line facing south same as shown in Step 5 in Figure 2.

e.       T is not an immediate neighbor of V and A is not an immediate neighbor of C.

T^x V T^x and A^x C A^x

In this case position of V is verified for neighbor T which provides the position of T i.e. at the left extreme end of the bottom straight line facing north.

Now position of C is verified for neighbor A which provides the position of A i.e. at the right extreme end of the top straight line facing north. Now put Q in left position same as shown in Step 6 in Figure 2.
