About Circular Seating Arrangement: Positions and Specializations

CLAT's Logical Reasoning section includes analytical puzzles alongside argument-based questions -- arrangements that must be worked out purely from a set of clues given once, without any outside knowledge of the people or terms involved.

This quiz is built around a single circular seating arrangement: eight professors seated around a table, each specializing in a different subject, fully pinned down by nine clues given up front. Every question below is answered using that one arrangement -- nothing new is introduced question to question.

The twenty questions attached to it move through the kind of angles these puzzles are actually tested from: direct position and subject look-ups, "second to the left/right" questions, opposite-seat questions, "which of the following is true" questions, a hypothetical seat-swap, and a multi-statement combination question.

Only five of the twenty questions are shown on any single attempt, so replaying this quiz brings a genuinely different mix of angles on the same arrangement rather than the same five memorised by rote.
