Seating Arrangement

Questions of this type, describe people seated around a table (which could be of any regular shape – circular, rectangular, square, hexagonal, etc) or in a row or in rows and columns. If the persons are seated in a row, the problem reduces to one on linear sequencing, but if they are seated around a table, the shape of the table, the number of people on each side of the table (in the case of a rectangular or hexagonal table) or around a circular table, and other details should be considered.
