Difficulty: EasySeating Arrangement

Six diplomats representing Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, and Ghana are seated in a single straight row facing North during an international summit. Based on the following conditions, arrange the diplomats in the correct order from the extreme left (Position 1) to the extreme right (Position 6) of the row:

- The diplomat from Brazil sits at the extreme left of the row.
- The diplomat from Canada sits exactly between the diplomats from Brazil and Denmark.
- The diplomat from Ghana sits at the extreme right of the row.
- The diplomat from France sits immediately to the left of the diplomat from Ghana.

  1. 1Diplomat from Brazil
  2. 2Diplomat from Canada
  3. 3Diplomat from Denmark
  4. 4Diplomat from Egypt
  5. 5Diplomat from France
  6. 6Diplomat from Ghana

Answer

The correct order from left to right is: Brazil, Canada, Denmark, Egypt, France, and Ghana.
By following the direct placement clues sequentially, we can fill the 6 seats without any ambiguity. Brazil takes the far left (1) and Ghana takes the far right (6). Canada and Denmark follow Brazil in that order to satisfy the 'between' condition, filling seats 2 and 3. France goes just before Ghana into seat 5. The only remaining empty seat is seat 4, which is filled by Egypt.

Step-by-Step Solution

1
Place the diplomats at the extreme ends of the row.
Brazil is at Position 1 and Ghana is at Position 6.
The first and third clues explicitly state the positions for Brazil and Ghana.
2
Determine the positions of Canada and Denmark.
Canada is at Position 2 and Denmark is at Position 3.
The second clue states Canada is exactly between Brazil and Denmark. Since Brazil is at Position 1, Canada must be at Position 2 and Denmark at Position 3.
3
Determine the position of France.
France is at Position 5.
The fourth clue states France is immediately to the left of Ghana. Since Ghana is at Position 6, France must be at Position 5.
4
Assign the final remaining seat.
Egypt is at Position 4.
Positions 1, 2, 3, 5, and 6 are filled. The only diplomat left is Egypt, so they must sit in the only remaining seat, which is Position 4.
