Your total score in the Reasoning section will be a score booster in your prelims exam. Seating arrangement is a type of puzzle which is mostly asked in the LIC AAO Prelims as well as Mains exam. One seating arrangement puzzle contains 5 to 6 questions and 1 to 2 such puzzles are expected to be asked in the exam. Therefore, it becomes essential to prepare for this type of puzzle. In this blog, we are guiding you in learning basic concepts of Seating Arrangement with an example for each type of question.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-16018d1d wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-vivid-cyan-blue-background-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/lic-aao-test-series\/?ref=14207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Take LIC AAO 2025 Free Mock Test<\/strong><\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Seating Arrangement Puzzle Basic Concepts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seating Arrangement is a kind of puzzle asked in the LIC AAO exam. A statement containing some clues about the position of the person seated at different places in a circular, linear, or square, or rectangular arrangement is given. The basic concepts of seating arrangement involves understanding the given statements, clues, and assumptions, structuring the given information, and arriving at a conclusion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>For example:<\/strong> Clues to solve a puzzle will be given like \u201cA is seated second to the right of B\u201d. You should first note down such clues in the simplest possible way. Then start putting all characters in the possible position. After you have read and understood all the given clues, you will be able to answer the questions based on that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/?next=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.practicemock.com%2Fs1pricing%2Findex.php%3Fc%3Dpremium&amp;ref=14207\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1300\" height=\"500\" src=\"https:\/\/www.practicemock.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/Banking-Plus-Course-1-1.png\" alt=\"banking plus course\" class=\"wp-image-168282\"\/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What are the Different Types of Seating Arrangement Puzzles?&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>There are three major types of seating arrangement questions asked in the LIC AAO exam. These are Linear Seating Arrangement, Circular Seating Arrangement, and Polygonal Seating Arrangement. Let\u2019s discuss each one of them with an example.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Circular Seating Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Circular Seating Arrangement,<strong> <\/strong>people sit around a circle. They usually face the centre (most common) or face outside. When persons face the centre, treat left as <strong>clockwise<\/strong>. (Top person\u2019s left is the next clockwise seat.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example (solved)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Six persons A,B,C,D,E,F sit around a circle facing the centre.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>C is immediate left of A.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B is second to the left of E.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D is immediate right of B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>F is not adjacent to A.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution (steps)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Draw 6 positions around a circle and number clockwise 1\u21926.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Put A at position 1 (anchor).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C immediate left of A \u2192 since facing centre, left = clockwise \u2192 C at pos2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Let\u2019s try E at pos4 \u2192 then B (second left of E) is at pos6 (two clockwise from pos4).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D immediate right of B \u2192 right = anticlockwise \u2192 D at pos5.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remaining pos3 must be F. Check F not adjacent to A: A at pos1, adjacent seats are pos6 and pos2. F is pos3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final clockwise positions: 1 A, 2 C, 3 F, 4 E, 5 D, 6 B.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>pos1 (A) \u2192 pos2 (C) \u2192 pos3 (F) \u2192 pos4 (E) \u2192 pos5 (D) \u2192 pos6 (B) \u2192 back to A<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Linear Seating Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a linear seating arrangement<strong>, <\/strong>people sit in a straight line (one after another). They may face north\/south or opposite directions. If all face North, use the diagram left to right as it is. If some face South, left or right reverse for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Example (solved step-by-step)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p>Eight friends A,B,C,D,E,F,G,H sit in a row facing north.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>F sits at an extreme end.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B is third to the right of F.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C is second to the left of B.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D is the immediate right of C.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>G sits between A and H.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>E is immediately to the left of A.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Solution (steps)<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Number positions 1\u20268 from left to right (our diagram). Since they face north, left\/right are the same as drawn left\/right.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>\u201cF at an extreme end\u201d \u2192 try pos1 or pos8. If F at pos8, \u201cB is third to the right of F\u201d would be impossible. So F = pos1.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>B is 3rd right of F \u2192 B = pos4.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>C is 2nd left of B \u2192 C = pos2.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D immediate right of C \u2192 D = pos3.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Remaining positions (5\u20138): A, E, G, H. \u201cE immediate left of A\u201d so E must be immediately left of A. Place A at pos6 \u2192 E pos5 (pos5 free). Then \u201cG between A and H\u201d \u2192 pos7 = G and pos8 = H.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Final order (left\u2192right): F, C, D, B, E, A, G, H.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Answer check:<\/strong> Immediate left of D (pos3) is C (pos2).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Positions: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>People&nbsp; : F C D B E A G H<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Square\/Rectangle Seating Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In Polygonal seating arrangement, people sit at corners and side-middles of a square\/rectangle; directions (facing inside\/outside) matter. To solve this type of question, draw a square and mark corner\/side positions, label positions in order (clockwise). Always note whether corner vs side positions are specified.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Type of question asked<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>8 persons around a square (4 corners + 4 side-centers), all facing the centre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Clues of the type: \u201cA at a corner; B sits between A and C; D is at the middle of the side opposite to A\u201d, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solve by placing corners first (fewer options), then side-centres.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Double Row Seating Arrangement<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Double Row Seating Arrangement,<strong> <\/strong>Two parallel rows; people in one row face the other row (usually facing each other). To solve such a question, draw two horizontal rows; top row left to right and bottom row left\u2192right. If top faces south and bottom faces north, then top\u2019s left corresponds to our left, but their opposite faces each other \u2014 so the person opposite top[i] is bottom[i].<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Example (solved)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Row1 (facing south): A B C D (left\u2192right)<br>Row2 (facing north): P Q R S (left\u2192right)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Clues:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A sits opposite R.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Q is immediate right of S.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D sits opposite P.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Solution:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Opposite means same column. A opposite R \u2192 they share a column.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>D opposite P \u2192 they share a column.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Q immediate right of S (in Row2 left\u2192right): so S is left of Q.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fit columns so no conflict; fill remaining accordingly.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Common Mistakes to Avoid While solving Seating Arrangement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Below are some common mistakes that many candidates makes when they solve a seating arrangement puzzle question.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Misreading \u201csecond to the left\u201d (it means exactly two seats to the left: one person in between).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Forgetting to flip left\/right when facing outside vs facing centre.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Assuming order between A and B without explicit clue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Filling optional placements too early as they can block correct placements later.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Avoiding these mistakes will ensure you don&#8217;t skip a clue in the given questions and you choose the correct option while answering the question based on the seating puzzle.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Conclusion<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Seating Arrangement concepts are explained in detail in this blog.
