Zorluk: KolaySeating Arrangement

Five candidates—Farah, Gauri, Hina, Iram, and Jiya—are sitting in a straight row facing South on a bench that extends from West to East.

- Hina sits exactly in the middle of the row.
- Farah sits at the extreme left end of the row (from the candidates' perspective).
- Gauri sits immediately to the right of Hina.
- Iram does not sit next to Farah.

Based on the given information, who is sitting at the extreme West end of the bench?

  1. IramCevap
  2. B
    Farah
  3. C
    Jiya
  4. D
    Hina

Cevap

Iram is sitting at the extreme West end of the bench.
Iram is the correct answer because placing the candidates accurately requires mapping their South-facing left/right perspectives to East/West directions. Hina is in the middle. Farah is on the extreme left (East). Gauri is to the right of Hina (West of Hina). Iram cannot be next to Farah, meaning Iram cannot be on the East side of the middle, forcing Iram to take the extreme West position.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine directional mapping based on the candidates' orientation.
Since the candidates are facing South, their 'left' corresponds to the East, and their 'right' corresponds to the West.
Establishing the correct left-right to cardinal direction mapping is necessary before placing individuals on the West-East axis.
2
Place Hina based on the first clue.
Hina is placed at position 3 (the exact middle of the 5 seats).
The clue explicitly states Hina's absolute position.
3
Place Farah based on the second clue.
Farah is placed at position 5 (the extreme East end).
Farah is at the extreme left end from her perspective. For a South-facing person, the left end is the East end.
4
Place Gauri based on the third clue.
Gauri is placed at position 2 (immediately to the West of Hina).
Gauri is immediately to Hina's right. For South-facing people, right is West.
5
Place Iram and Jiya based on the final clue.
Iram is placed at position 1 (extreme West end) and Jiya is placed at position 4.
Iram cannot sit next to Farah (position 5), so Iram cannot take position 4. Therefore, Iram must take the remaining spot at position 1.
