Difficulty: EasySeating Arrangement

Four project managers—Emma, Felix, Grace, and Henry—are sitting around a small circular meeting table. All four are facing the center of the table.

Based on the following two conditions, match each person with their correct seating position description:
1. Emma sits directly opposite to Felix.
2. Grace sits to the immediate left of Emma.

  • EmmaSits to the immediate left of Henry
  • FelixSits to the immediate left of Grace
  • GraceSits directly opposite to Henry
  • HenrySits to the immediate right of Emma

Answer

The matches are: Emma -> Sits to the immediate left of Henry; Felix -> Sits to the immediate left of Grace; Grace -> Sits directly opposite to Henry; Henry -> Sits to the immediate right of Emma.
Based on the center-facing orientation, if Emma is at the 'North' position facing South, her immediate left is 'East'. Grace takes the 'East' seat. Felix is opposite Emma, taking the 'South' seat. Henry must take the final 'West' seat. By evaluating the relative positions from this layout: Emma (North) is to the immediate left of Henry (West). Felix (South) is to the immediate left of Grace (East). Grace (East) is directly opposite Henry (West). Henry (West) is to the immediate right of Emma (North).

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Place Emma and Felix on the circular table.
Emma and Felix occupy two directly opposite seats.
Condition 1 explicitly states that Emma and Felix sit opposite each other.
2
Determine Grace's position relative to Emma.
Grace is seated in the seat immediately clockwise from Emma.
Condition 2 states Grace is to the immediate left of Emma. Because they face the center, Emma's left corresponds to the next seat clockwise.
3
Place Henry in the final available seat.
Henry sits in the seat opposite to Grace.
Three out of four seats are taken. Henry must occupy the fourth seat, which is on Emma's immediate right.
