Zorluk: OrtaSeating Arrangement

Six software engineers—Arjun, Brenda, Carlos, Divya, Ethan, and Fatima—are seated around a circular conference table. Some are facing the center while others are facing outward (away from the center).

1. Ethan faces the center and Arjun sits third to his right.
2. Arjun faces outward. Carlos sits second to the left of Arjun.
3. Divya sits to the immediate right of Arjun and faces the same direction as Arjun.
4. Carlos faces the center. Brenda sits to the immediate left of Carlos.
5. The immediate neighbors of Ethan face the same direction as each other.
6. Fatima and Brenda face opposite directions.

Based on the given arrangement, who sits second to the right of Brenda?

  1. DivyaCevap
  2. B
    Ethan
  3. C
    Carlos
  4. D
    Fatima

Cevap

Divya
Based on the step-by-step logical placement, Brenda is seated at position 3 and faces outward. Because she is facing away from the center, her right side is in the counter-clockwise direction. Therefore, the person to her immediate right is at position 4 (Arjun), and the person second to her right is at position 5, which is Divya.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Place Ethan and determine Arjun's position.
Ethan is at position 1 facing the center. Arjun is at position 4.
Assuming positions 1 to 6 clockwise, Ethan at 1 facing inward means his right is counter-clockwise. Third to the right (6, 5, 4) places Arjun exactly opposite at position 4.
2
Place Carlos relative to Arjun.
Carlos is at position 2 facing the center.
Arjun at position 4 faces outward. His left side is clockwise (towards 3, 2). Second to the left is position 2, so Carlos is placed there. The clue also states Carlos faces the center.
3
Place Divya relative to Arjun.
Divya is at position 5 facing outward.
Divya is to the immediate right of Arjun. Since Arjun faces outward at position 4, his right is counter-clockwise at position 5. Divya faces the same direction as Arjun (outward).
4
Place Brenda relative to Carlos.
Brenda is at position 3.
Carlos faces the center at position 2. His left is clockwise towards position 3, which is where Brenda sits.
5
Place Fatima and determine remaining facing directions.
Fatima is at position 6 (facing the center) and Brenda faces outward.
Fatima takes the last spot at 6. Ethan's neighbors (Carlos at 2 and Fatima at 6) must face the same direction. Carlos faces inward, so Fatima faces inward. Since Brenda and Fatima face opposite directions, Brenda faces outward.
6
Find the person second to the right of Brenda.
The person is Divya.
Brenda is at position 3 facing outward. Her right side points counter-clockwise towards position 4. The first to her right is Arjun (4), and the second to her right is Divya (5).
