Discussion
Eight film stars, Salman, Kareena, Shahrukh, Madhuri, Kajol, Amitabh, Raveena and Ajay, are sitting in a circle facing the outside direction as follows. Salman and Amitabh are sitting opposite to each other. No two male or two female film stars are sitting together. Madhuri is sitting between Salman and Shahrukh.Ajay is sitting 2nd to the right of Amitabh. Kajol is not sitting next to Ajay. Raveena is sitting opposite to Madhuri. Who is sitting 3rd to the right of Ajay?
Answer: C
The person sitting 3rd to the right of Ajay is Madhuri. The eight stars sit in a circle facing outwards, so each person's right is the anticlockwise side. Since no two men or two women are adjacent, men and women alternate. Salman and Amitabh sit opposite each other, Madhuri is between Salman and Shahrukh, and Raveena is opposite Madhuri.
Going clockwise as seen from above, one arrangement that fits every clue is Salman, Kareena, Ajay, Raveena, Amitabh, Kajol, Shahrukh, Madhuri. Ajay is the 2nd to the right of Amitabh, Kajol is not next to Ajay, and the genders alternate. From Ajay, the 1st to the right is Kareena, the 2nd is Salman and the 3rd is Madhuri. The mirror image of this seating (with the opposite facing) gives the same name, so Kajol, Raveena and Kareena are the wrong choices.
