P and Q have been allotted a hostel room with two beds, a study table, and an almirah. P is an avid birdwatcher and wants to sit at the table and watch birds outside the window. Q does not mind that as long as his bed is close to the ceiling fan.
Which one of the following arrangements suits them the most?
Correct Answer :
Solution :
The correct arrangement is the one shown in the fourth option (corresponding to the image showing Bed Q adjacent to the Fan and the Table directly under the Window).
To determine the most suitable arrangement for P and Q, we must satisfy the individual preferences of both roommates based on the layout of the room components:
1. P's Preference: P wants to sit at the table and watch birds outside. This means the Table must be placed directly adjacent to or directly in front of the Window to provide a clear view outside.
2. Q's Preference: Q wants his bed close to the ceiling fan. This means Bed Q must be positioned as close as possible to the circular area labeled Fan.
Let's analyze the layout shown in the correct arrangement:
- Table and Window: The Table is positioned along the top wall, directly underneath the Window. This perfectly satisfies P's requirement of sitting at the table while having immediate visual access to the outside through the window.
- Bed Q and Fan: Bed Q is placed along the left wall, positioned directly next to the ceiling Fan located in the center-left portion of the room. This ensures that Q's bed is as close as possible to the fan.
- Other Elements: Bed P is positioned at the bottom-left corner, the Almirah is placed in the top-right corner, and the Door is located on the bottom-right wall, ensuring a functional layout that doesn't block access to any essential features.
Thus, this specific layout is the only arrangement that completely fulfills the requirements of both P and Q.
