Read the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Some students attend the lectures and they all are arranged in three parallel rows such that row1 is north of row2 and row 3 is south of row 2. Each row has 8 seats. All the students face north direction. Some seats are vacant in each row. Twelve students- Allen, Fame, Emma, Alpha, Coco, Nick, Ivory, London, Olive, Unique, Jack and Den who attend the lectures are divided into two classes i.e., class A and class B. The students whose name start with a vowel belongs to class A and the rest belong to class B. The students in class A are sitting in the alternative seats from the second seat of Row 1 when counts from the left end according to the dictionary order followed by class B students who are sitting in reverse alphabetical order. After row 1, students are sitting in row 2 then in row 3 following the same rule. All students are sitting in the alternative seats only. Now the students sit around two circular tables i.e., Table1 and Table2 and all are facing the centre. Students belong to Class A sit in table 1and the rest of them sit in table 2.
Conditions for table 1: Allen sits opposite to the one who sits second from the left end in row 2. The one who sits right of olive in row 2 sits second to the right of Allen. Alpha doesn’t sit adjacent to Olive and sit opposite to Emma.
Conditions for table 2: London sits second to the right of the one who sits adjacent to Unique. The one who sits at extreme end sit third to the left of London. Jack sits opposite to Den and doesn’t sit adjacent to Nick.
Which among the following statement is true?
Correct Answer :
Unique sits second to the right of Olive in row 2
Solution :
The correct answer is: Unique sits second to the right of Olive in row 2
Step-by-Step Logical Explanation:
1. Categorizing Students by Class:
There are 12 students: Allen, Fame, Emma, Alpha, Coco, Nick, Ivory, London, Olive, Unique, Jack, and Den.
According to the problem:
• Class A (Vowels): Allen, Alpha, Emma, Ivory, Olive, Unique (6 students)
• Class B (Consonants): Coco, Den, Fame, Jack, London, Nick (6 students)
2. Determining the Seating Sequence in the Rows:
• Class A students are seated first in alphabetical order (dictionary order):
Allen, Alpha, Emma, Ivory, Olive, Unique.
• Class B students follow immediately in reverse alphabetical order:
Nick, London, Jack, Fame, Den, Coco.
• Combining both groups, the complete order of students to be seated across the rows is:
1. Allen
2. Alpha
3. Emma
4. Ivory
5. Olive
6. Unique
7. Nick
8. London
9. Jack
10. Fame
11. Den
12. Coco
3. Arranging Students in Rows (Row 1, Row 2, Row 3):
Each row has 8 seats (numbered 1 to 8 from left to right).
Students occupy alternate seats starting from the 2nd seat (i.e., seats 2, 4, 6, 8) in Row 1, then Row 2, then Row 3.
This gives 4 alternate seats per row:
• Row 1:
Seat 2: Allen
Seat 4: Alpha
Seat 6: Emma
Seat 8: Ivory
• Row 2:
Seat 2: Olive
Seat 4: Unique
Seat 6: Nick
Seat 8: London
• Row 3:
Seat 2: Jack
Seat 4: Fame
Seat 6: Den
Seat 8: Coco
4. Verifying the Given Statement:
Looking at Row 2:
- Olive is in Seat 2.
- Unique is in Seat 4.
Since seat 4 is two positions to the right of seat 2 (in alternate seating arrangements, seat 4 is the second occupied/alternate seat to the right of seat 2), Unique sits second to the right of Olive in row 2.
Thus, the statement "Unique sits second to the right of Olive in row 2" is TRUE.
