Seating Arrangement
Seating Arrangement is a logical puzzle where you must place people or objects in specific positions based on given clues. Think of it like organizing a group of friends for a photograph or placing students on a school bench. The goal is to follow every rule provided in the question to find the final order. These questions test your ability to process information clearly and build a mental or visual map of the situation.

This is a common trap. In a sentence like 'A is third to the right of B, who is next to C', the word 'who' refers to the person just before it (B). But in 'A is third to the right of B and is next to C', the word 'and' refers to the first person (A).
