Five senior officers—Ananya, Bhavesh, Chitra, Dev, and Ehsaan—are ranked from Rank 1 (highest seniority) to Rank 5 (lowest seniority). Each officer heads a distinct department among Home, Finance, Urban Development, Health, and Education.

Based on the following administrative records, determine the unique order of the five officers from Rank 1 (highest) to Rank 5 (lowest):
1. The officer heading Education is ranked immediately above the officer heading Finance, who in turn is ranked immediately above Chitra.
2. Ananya is ranked higher than the officer heading Health, who is ranked higher than Ehsaan.
3. Bhavesh is ranked lower than the officer heading Urban Development, but higher than Dev.
4. Bhavesh does not head the Education or Home department.
5. Dev does not head the Health or Finance department, and Ehsaan is not the officer heading Home.

  1. 1Ananya
  2. 2Bhavesh
  3. 3Dev
  4. 4Ehsaan
  5. 5Chitra

Cevap

The correct sequence from Rank 1 (highest) to Rank 5 (lowest) is Ananya, Bhavesh, Dev, Ehsaan, and Chitra.
By placing the contiguous three-rank block (Education, Finance, Chitra) at Ranks 3, 4, and 5, we satisfy all constraints: Ananya (Urban Development, Rank 1) > Bhavesh (Health, Rank 2) > Dev (Education, Rank 3) > Ehsaan (Finance, Rank 4) > Chitra (Home, Rank 5).

Adım Adım Çözüm

1
Analyze the contiguous block from Clue 1
Education, Finance, and Chitra form a three-rank contiguous block at Ranks kk, k+1k+1, and k+2k+2 respectively.
Clue 1 states Education is immediately above Finance, which is immediately above Chitra.
2
Deduce Bhavesh's department and rank constraints
Bhavesh heads Health and occupies Rank 2.
From Clue 3, Urban Dev < Bhavesh < Dev. From Clue 2, Ananya < Health < Ehsaan. Bhavesh cannot be Education or Home (Clue 4). If Bhavesh headed Finance, Urban Dev would conflict with Education. Thus Bhavesh must head Health. Since Urban Dev and Ananya are both senior to Bhavesh, and Dev and Ehsaan are junior to Bhavesh, Bhavesh cannot be Rank 1, 4, or 5. Evaluating the block position forces k=3k=3 (Education at Rank 3, Finance at Rank 4, Chitra at Rank 5), placing Bhavesh at Rank 2.
3
Determine Rank 1 officer and department
Ananya is at Rank 1 and heads Urban Development.
Urban Development is ranked above Bhavesh (Rank 2), so it must be at Rank 1. Ananya is also ranked above Health (Bhavesh at Rank 2), so Ananya must be at Rank 1.
4
Assign remaining officers to Ranks 3, 4, and 5
Dev is at Rank 3 (Education), Ehsaan is at Rank 4 (Finance), and Chitra is at Rank 5 (Home).
Chitra is fixed at Rank 5 (k+2k+2). Ranks 3 and 4 belong to Education and Finance. Dev cannot head Finance (Clue 5), so Dev must head Education at Rank 3. Ehsaan takes Finance at Rank 4. By elimination, Chitra heads Home.
