Question

Anuj, Bala, Charanjit, Danish, Endrew, Farooq, Garvit and Himesh are sitting around a square table facing the center of the table. Four of them are sitting at each of the corners, while the other four are sitting at the exact center of each of the sides.

- Endrew, who sits middle of a side, sits to the fourth left of Garvit.
- Only one person sits between Garvit and Farooq.
- Bala is immediate neighbor of Endrew.
- Only three people sit between Bala and Anuj.
- Bala is not a neighbor of Farooq.
- Himesh sits to the immediate left of Charanjit.
- Charanjit sits to the third right of Endrew.

**Question:** Number of people between Farooq and Himesh is same as?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. There are 8 people sitting around a square table with 4 at corners and 4 at the middle of each side.

2. Positions are numbered clockwise 1 to 8:
   - Corners: 1, 3, 5, 7
   - Sides: 2, 4, 6, 8

3. Given conditions and deductions:
   - Endrew sits at a side (position 8) and is 4th to the left of Garvit (position 4).
   - Only one person sits between Garvit (4) and Farooq (6).
   - Bala is immediate neighbor of Endrew (positions 7 or 1). Bala is at corner 7.
   - Only 3 people sit between Bala (7) and Anuj (5).
   - Bala is not neighbor of Farooq (6), so Farooq cannot be at 8 or 6.
   - Himesh sits immediately left of Charanjit.
   - Charanjit sits 3rd right of Endrew.

4. Final arrangement (clockwise):
   1: (Empty)
   2: Himesh (Side)
   3: Charanjit (Corner)
   4: Garvit (Side)
   5: Anuj (Corner)
   6: Farooq (Side)
   7: Bala (Corner)
   8: Endrew (Side)

5. Number of people between Farooq (6) and Himesh (2):
   - Clockwise: positions 7, 8, 1 → 3 people
   - Counter-clockwise: positions 5, 4, 3 → 3 people

6. Check pairs for same number of people between them:
   - Endrew (8) and Garvit (4):
     - Clockwise between them: 1, 2, 3 → 3 people
     - Counter-clockwise between them: 7, 6, 5 → 3 people

7. Other pairs do not have the same number of people between them as Farooq and Himesh.
