Six persons are seated around a hexagonal table. Arup is seated opposite Belal, who is between Chirag and Derek. Arup is between Ela and Farook. Ela is to the left of Derek. Which of the following pairs is facing each other?
- a.Ela and Farook
- b.Derek and Ela
- c.Chirag and Ela
- d.Chirag and Derek
Answer: (C) Chirag and Ela
Number the six seats 1 to 6 round the table; seats facing each other are 1-4, 2-5 and 3-6. Put Belal at 1 and Arup opposite at 4. Chirag and Derek are on either side of Belal (seats 2 and 6), and Ela and Farook on either side of Arup (seats 3 and 5). Ela is next to Derek, so Ela and Derek are on the same side, which leaves Chirag facing Ela and Derek facing Farook.
