1. What is Linear Arrangement?
People are arranged in a straight line:
_ _ _ _ _ _
👉 Facing direction matters:
- Facing North → Left = your left
- Facing South → Left = your right
2. Key Rules
- Immediate left/right → next position
- Second left/right → skip one seat
- Ends → fixed positions
3. Shortcut Method
Fix known positions first → then fill remaining
👉 Start with:
- End positions
- Direct relations
4. Example
6 people in a row
A is at one end
B is next to A
C is in the middle
👉 Solve step-by-step:
A _ _ _ _ _
A B _ _ _ _
A B _ C _ _
👉 Continue filling based on conditions
5. Facing Direction Trick
Facing South → Left becomes Right Facing North → Normal direction
6. Common Mistakes
