Five municipal inspectors—Anand, Bhavia, Charan, Deepa, and Esha—are assigned to inspect three city zones (North, West, and East) using two types of vehicles (Electric and Hybrid), adhering to the following conditions:

1. Each inspector is assigned to exactly one zone and uses exactly one vehicle type. Every zone is visited by at least one inspector.
2. Exactly two inspectors use Electric vehicles, and three use Hybrid vehicles.
3. Esha uses a Hybrid vehicle and is the only inspector assigned to the North zone.
4. Anand and Deepa are assigned to the same zone, but use different vehicle types from each other.
5. Deepa uses an Electric vehicle.
6. Neither Bhavia nor Charan is assigned to the West zone.
7. Charan uses the same vehicle type as Anand.

Based on the information above, which of the following statements is DEFINITELY TRUE?

  1. Bhavia is assigned to the East zone and uses an Electric vehicle.Cevap
  2. B
    Anand is assigned to the East zone and uses a Hybrid vehicle.
  3. C
    Deepa is assigned to the West zone and uses a Hybrid vehicle.
  4. D
    Charan is assigned to the West zone and uses an Electric vehicle.

Cevap

Bhavia is assigned to the East zone and uses an Electric vehicle.
By logical deduction from the given clues, Esha is uniquely in the North zone with a Hybrid vehicle. Bhavia and Charan cannot be in North or West, placing them in the East zone. Anand and Deepa occupy the West zone. Deepa uses an Electric vehicle and Anand uses a Hybrid vehicle. Charan uses a Hybrid vehicle (matching Anand). Since three Hybrids are accounted for (Esha, Anand, Charan), Bhavia must use an Electric vehicle in the East zone.

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Determine zone assignments
North zone has only Esha (Condition 3). Bhavia and Charan cannot be in West (Condition 6) or North (as Esha is alone), so they are in East. Anand and Deepa must be together (Condition 4) in the remaining West zone.
Every zone must have at least one inspector, and Esha fills North completely.
2
Determine vehicle assignments for Anand, Deepa, and Esha
Esha uses Hybrid (Condition 3). Deepa uses Electric (Condition 5). Since Anand is in the same zone as Deepa but uses a different vehicle (Condition 4), Anand uses Hybrid.
Direct application of conditional vehicle constraints.
3
Determine vehicle assignments for Charan and Bhavia
Charan uses the same vehicle as Anand (Condition 7), so Charan uses Hybrid. Total Hybrids used = 3 (Esha, Anand, Charan). Total Electrics needed = 2 (Condition 2), so Bhavia must use Electric.
Completing the vehicle count count envelope of 2 Electric and 3 Hybrid.
