linear and circular arrangement problems......[competitive. exam prep.... topic 4]
linear and circular arrangement problems:
1. Always start filling in the details with Specific Statements.
There are two types of statements given: 1. Specific 2. Non specific
Specific statements always give only one type of arrangement. For example: D sits immediate left of F. So we have to put the combination DF in the diagram.
C sits opposite to A. This also a specific arrangement in a circular diagram as there is no other way to represent this.
Example for non-specific statements is B and E sits next to each other. This gives two types of arrangement. BE and EB.
A sits in between C and D. This gives CAD and DAC.
So never solving question with statements like this.
2. Search for some continuation statement:
If the first statement starts with D and F, search for another statement which has either D or F in that. So that it will give you some continuation.
3. Draw the diagrams in the circular arrangement according to the shown below
Remember: Left side in a circular arrangement is always clock wise and right side means anti - clock wise.
