Seating Arrangement Practice Problems with Explanations for Bank Exams - Reasoning

Seating Arrangement (or Sitting Arrangement as some of us pronounce it) is one of the important topics of the Reasoning section of Bank Exams. The best thing here is, with little concentration and efforts you can get 5 out of 5 (and ofcourse 15 out of 15 in the case of IBPS CWE sometimes) marks easily. And the main disadvantage of these sort of problems is..... even a single mistake can ruin the entire solutions and it may results losing all the marks!!! So its always advisable to check your answers twice before coming to a conclusion and marking the answers. Here we are giving some practice problems of Seating Arrangement problems of the Reasoning Section. Just see the problems and try to solve them on your own. Later you can check with the answers given below with complete solutions. You can check more reasoning related problems with explanations here. Good Day and Happy Reading :)

  30. Hey Team your technique is good in solving these type of problem and i appreciate your job.Can u plz post the questions which are now coming in PO xamz(like 8 ppl at 8 diff post sitting in circle)...?
    i want to give one way to avoid confusion and save time, as u said we should draw line in lieu of making circle in the same way i want to say that in double line question it's better to draw vertical line and in place of full name consider only unique identity of the Name/person. In this example their unique identity is the first character of their name. For ex:-
    R K V P S
    | | | | |
    C A B E D
    I make it precise because in PO xam time is major variable.
    for Admin:-Review my approach if it's wrong than correct me.
    for peer's:-Plz post the approach if you have better than this.
