which shows condition is favorable to us and from left to right FOR OBJECTS
sitting FACING SOUTH which shows condition is unfavorable to us (see example
for clarity).

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.
Tx V Tx and
Ax C Ax
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.
