provided. There are 4 types of Sitting Arrangement.
1. Linear Arrangement: Here the arrangement of the persons is linear i.e.
you have to arrange them in a line. Here generally a single row of
arrangement is formed.
2. Double row arrangement: In these questions, there will be two groups of
persons. You have to arrange one group in one row and the other group in
other row. The persons in these rows normally face each other.
3. Circular arrangement: In the circular seating arrangement questions, you
have to arrange the persons around a circular table etc. fulfilling certain
conditions.
4. Rectangular arrangement: These arrangements are almost similar to the
circular arrangements; the only difference is that the persons are sitting
around a rectangular table.
