Answer 2

Srinivas and Murali are sitting opposite.So ans is C

Comments

here rahul is not left of murali

---

Yes he is. Assume that you are seated in place of murali and then think who is in your left.

---

In this type of question always assume they are facing towards centre.

Answer 3

Draw a circle..... Let us assume Murali is sitting in south. Then Rahul will be in west as per condition 1. Then put Srinivas in north and Arul in east to satisfy Srinivas is right of Arul. Then check which pair is opposite. Srinivas and Murali will come face to face. So option c is correct
