Zorluk: KolaySeating Arrangement

Five judges—Valerie, Winston, Xavier, Yara, and Zane—are seated in a single row facing South. The chairs are numbered 1 to 5 from West to East (left to right from an observer's perspective). The following conditions apply:

• Xavier sits in the exact middle.
• Valerie sits to the immediate left of Xavier.
• Zane sits at the extreme right end of the row.
• Winston is not an immediate neighbor of Zane.

Based on this arrangement, which of the following statements are correct? (Select all that apply)

  1. Yara is seated in chair 2.Cevap
  2. Winston is seated in chair 5.Cevap
  3. C
    Valerie is seated in chair 2.
  4. D
    Zane is seated in chair 5.

Cevap

The statements confirming Yara is in chair 2 and Winston is in chair 5 are correct.
Based on the South-facing orientation, Zane is in chair 1, Yara is in chair 2, Xavier is in chair 3, Valerie is in chair 4, and Winston is in chair 5. Therefore, the statements correctly identifying Yara in chair 2 and Winston in chair 5 accurately reflect the deduced arrangement.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine the orientation and numbering of the chairs.
Chairs are numbered 1 to 5 from West to East. Because the judges face South, their 'right' is towards the West (chair 1) and their 'left' is towards the East (chair 5).
Establishing the correct directional frame of reference is critical before placing any individuals.
2
Place Xavier and Zane based on their absolute positions.
Xavier sits in the middle, which is chair 3. Zane sits at the extreme right end from the judges' perspective, which corresponds to chair 1 (West).
Direct absolute positional clues provide the strongest starting point.
3
Place Valerie using her relative position to Xavier.
Valerie sits to the immediate left of Xavier. Since they face South, left means East, placing Valerie in chair 4.
Connecting relative directional clues to established absolute positions continues to fill the arrangement.
4
Place Winston and Yara based on remaining constraints.
Chairs 2 and 5 are empty. Winston cannot be an immediate neighbor of Zane (chair 1), so Winston must be placed in chair 5. Yara is placed in the final remaining chair, which is chair 2.
The process of elimination resolves the final positions.
