Seating Arrangement Reasoning Puzzle for IBPS PO — Kiran, Dev, Arjun, Farhan, Hari

💡 How to solve linear seating arrangement puzzles

• Start with direct clues: Place anyone whose exact position is given (e.g., "X sits in seat 4").
• Then relative clues: "X sits to the left of Y" — X must be in a lower position number.
• Adjacent clues: "X and Y sit next to each other" — they occupy consecutive seats. Try both orders.
• Eliminate: Mark positions each person cannot occupy. Narrow down until one is forced.
• Double-check: Ensure all clues are satisfied in your final arrangement. One mistake means redoing.
