Question and options

Directions: Read the information given and answer the question.
Pankaj, Qasif, Rajat, Supriya, Tina, Uttkarsh, Vartika, Waseem and Zoya are sitting around a circle facing the centre. Rajat is third to the right of Zoya who is second to the right of Pankaj. Supriya is not an immediate neighbour of Zoya and Rajat. Tina is third to the left of Supriya. Qasif is third to the right of Waseem who is not an immediate neighbour of Supriya. Vartika is not a neighbour of Zoya.

How many people are sitting between Waseem and Supriya (counted clockwise from Supriya)?
  1. One
  2. Four
  3. Two
  4. Three

Answer and explanation

Correct answer: D - Three
Taking right as anticlockwise for people facing the centre: P at 0, Z at 2, R at 5; S cannot neighbour Z or R so S is 7 or 8; T is third left of S, which forces S=7, T=4; W is not next to S and Q is 3 right of W, forcing W=3, Q=6; V not next to Z gives V=8, U=1. Going clockwise from Supriya: Qasif, Rajat, Tina, then Waseem, so three people sit between them.
