Question

3 people A , B and C are sitting in a circular fashion. Find the total number of seating arrangements.

• A. 2
• B. 3
• C. 4
• D. 6

Answer 1

The correct option is A

2

The total number of outcomes you would be tempted to assume would be 6 – ABC , ACB , BAC , BCA , CAB , CBA

But let us draw the figure for arrangement ABC and try to find out the real answer.

Since they are seated in circular fashion , order does not matter i.e ABC is same as BCA is same as CAB

And ACB is same as CBA which is same as BAC . So total number of outcomes is 2.
