Previous Year Question (PYQs)
1
Two boys and two girls are playing cards and are seated at North, East, South and West of a table. No boy is facing East. Persons sitting opposite to each other are not of the same sex. One girl is facing South. Which directions are the boys facing?
Solution
If they are seated at North, East, South, West of a table (facing the centre), then:
North seat → faces South
East seat → faces West
South seat → faces North
West seat → faces East
One girl is facing South ⇒ she is sitting at North.
So, South (opposite North) must be a boy.
Remaining seats East and West must be one boy and one girl (opposite sexes).
“No boy is facing East” ⇒ no boy can sit at West (because West seat faces East).
So the second boy sits at East (faces West).
Thus, boys are facing North (boy at South) and West (boy at East).
