Five officers—Aman, Bina, Charan, Deepti, and Ekta—are seated in a single row facing North during a committee meeting, according to the following conditions:
1. Aman sits at one of the extreme ends of the row.
2. Exactly two officers sit between Aman and Charan.
3. Deepti sits to the immediate left of Charan.
4. Bina sits to the right of Ekta.
5. Aman does not sit adjacent to Ekta.

Which officer sits to the immediate right of Ekta?

  1. BinaCevap
  2. B
    Deepti
  3. C
    Charan
  4. D
    Aman

Cevap

Bina sits to the immediate right of Ekta.
By resolving all five positional clues step-by-step, the unique linear seating sequence from left to right (positions 1 to 5) is Deepti, Charan, Ekta, Bina, and Aman. Position 3 is occupied by Ekta, and Position 4 is occupied by Bina. Thus, Bina is the officer sitting to the immediate right of Ekta.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the extreme end possibilities for Aman.
Aman can be at Position 1 (Left End) or Position 5 (Right End).
Clue 1 states Aman sits at one of the extreme ends.
2
Place Charan relative to Aman.
If Aman is at Position 1, Charan is at Position 4. If Aman is at Position 5, Charan is at Position 2.
Clue 2 states exactly two officers sit between Aman and Charan.
3
Apply Deepti's positional constraint relative to Charan.
If Charan is at Position 4, Deepti is at Position 3. If Charan is at Position 2, Deepti is at Position 1.
Clue 3 specifies Deepti sits to the immediate left of Charan.
4
Test the remaining spots with Clue 4 and Clue 5.
For Aman at Position 1, the remaining spots for Ekta and Bina are 2 and 5. Bina must be to the right of Ekta, placing Ekta at 2. But Aman (1) would be adjacent to Ekta (2), violating Clue 5. Thus, Aman must be at Position 5.
Clue 5 rules out Aman being adjacent to Ekta.
5
Finalize the linear arrangement.
Positions from 1 to 5 (Left to Right) are: Deepti (1), Charan (2), Ekta (3), Bina (4), Aman (5).
Ekta is at position 3 and Bina is at position 4, so Bina is to the immediate right of Ekta.
