Read the data given below and based on it answer the following question: Six…

CONCEPT: When people sit facing the centre of a round table, two seats are ‘opposite’ each other only when they are exactly half the total seats apart (three apart on a six-seat circle). Also, a person's own ‘left’ and ‘right’ are judged from that person's own point of view while facing inward, which is the reverse sense of how the seats look when traced clockwise from outside the circle.

APPLICATION:

1. Place the six seats in a ring and fix Vineeta at one seat.

2. ‘Pooja sits to the left of Vineeta’ puts Pooja in the seat immediately next to Vineeta, on Vineeta's own left side.

3. ‘Reeti is fourth to the right of Pooja’ means moving four seats in Pooja's own rightward direction, without counting Pooja's own seat as one of the four. On a six-seat ring, moving four seats one way is the same as moving two seats the other way, so this count lands Reeti exactly three seats from Vineeta – i.e., directly across the table from her.

4. The remaining clue, ‘Tejaswini is not sitting between Qimat and Shweta’, only restricts how Qimat, Shweta and Tejaswini can fill the three seats left over after Vineeta, Pooja and Reeti take their seats; it does not need to be pinned down further, because none of those three leftover seats is the one directly across from Reeti — that seat is already fixed as Vineeta's by the clues above.

CROSS-CHECK: Opposite seats on a six-chair round table are always exactly three positions apart, regardless of which side Qimat and Shweta individually take. Since Reeti's seat is three positions from Vineeta's in both directions, and no clue relocates either of them, the opposite pairing of Vineeta and Reeti is fixed and unique.

So Vineeta is sitting opposite Reeti.
