Linear/Row arrangement
Here, we deal with questions, where a proper arrangement is required to be done in a linear format along a straight line.
- When it is not given in the question that in which direction the person is facing, then we assume it facing the North direction.
- When A, B, C and D are facing in South direction and P, Q, R and S are facing in North direction in a line, then positions to their right and left will be
- When A, B are in one line and P, Q in other, then diagonnaly opposite directions will be
A is diagonally opposite directions to Q and B is diagonally opposite to P.
Circular Arrangement
In circular arrangement, persons/objects are arranged around a circle facing towards or outside the centre on the basis of information provided.
In the below arrangement, some persons are sitting around a circle and they are facing the centre. The diagram highlights the left and right of the people for this case.
- Movements around the circular arrangement:
- For the people facing the centre:
- Left movement is called clockwise rotation.
- Right movement is called anti-clockwise rotation.
- For people facing outside, the opposite is true:
- Left movement is called anti-clockwise rotation.
- Right movement is called clockwise rotation.
The information given in such questions specifies the position of a few or all the persons in the arrangement. The positions are specified through conditions like: a particular person is sitting right or left of the other person. After reading the given information, you should draw the diagram depicting the question statement.
Positions in the circular arrangement:
Following two shapes are of six and eight people sitting around a circle.
Remember, if you are careful of the directions, then this question should be a fairly easy one to solve.
