Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.
Ten friends are sitting in two parallel rows of six seats each. One seat is vacant in each row. V, W, X, Y and Z are sitting in row-1 facing south. I, J, K, L and M are sitting in row-2 facing north. Each likes different brand of Shoes—Adidas, Nike, Puma, Bata, Lee Cooper, Nivia, Provogue, Lotto, Woodland and Sparx.
L sits third to the right of K and likes Bata. Only two people sit between J and the vacant seat. J does not like Lee Cooper or Puma. Z is not an immediate neighbour of X. W likes Sparx. The one who likes Puma faces the one who likes Lotto. The one who likes Puma sits opposite to the one who sits on the third right of the person who sits opposite to L. X is not an immediate neighbour of Y. M, who likes neither Lee Cooper nor Nivia, does not face the vacant seat. Neither L nor K sits at any of the extreme ends of the row. Y faces K. Vacant seats are not opposite to each other. Two seats are there between X and W, and W sits on the third right of the one who likes Sparx. The one who likes Woodland faces the one who likes Bata. The persons who like Adidas and Lotto are adjacent to each other. Vacant seat of row–1 is not an immediate neighbour of Y. J sits at one of the extreme ends of the row. K does not like Adidas and Lotto. Vacant seat of row-1 does not face L who does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the row.
Who among the following faces the vacant seat of row-2?
Correct Answer:
C. W
Explanation:
To determine who faces the vacant seat in row-2, we must map the positions based on the provided constraints:1. Row Setup: Row-1 (V, W, X, Y, Z) faces South. Row-2 (I, J, K, L, M) faces North. Each row has six slots (5 people + 1 vacant). 2. L and K's Position: L is third to the right of K. Since neither is at an extreme end, and Row-2 faces North, K must be in the 2nd slot and L in the 5th slot. L likes Bata. 3. Opposites: Y faces K, so Y is in the 2nd slot of Row-1. The one who likes Woodland faces Bata (L), so the person in the 5th slot of Row-1 likes Woodland. 4. Row-1 Movement: There are two seats between X and W. W is third to the right of the person who likes Sparx. Since Row-1 faces South, "right" is to the observer's left. W likes Sparx, so W must be in the 4th slot and X in the 1st slot. 5. Vacant Seats: Only two people sit between J and the vacant seat in Row-2. J is at an extreme end. If J is in the 1st slot, the vacant seat is the 4th slot. If J is in the 6th slot, the vacant seat is the 3rd slot. 6. Finalizing Row-1: With X(1), Y(2), and W(4) placed, the remaining slots are 3, 5, and 6 for V and Z. Z is not next to X, so Z cannot be in slot 2 (taken by Y) or 3. The vacant seat in Row-1 is not next to Y, so it cannot be 1 or 3. If slot 3 is vacant, Z must be in 5 or 6. 7. Facing Row-2 Vacancy: The person who likes Puma sits opposite the person who is third to the right of the person opposite L. The person opposite L (slot 5) is the one who likes Woodland. Third to the right of Woodland (in Row-1 facing South) is the person in slot 2 (Y). Therefore, the person who likes Puma (in Row-2) faces Y. 8. Solving for Z: By following the spatial constraints and the brand preferences (Puma/Lotto adjacency and Nivia/Lee Cooper restrictions), the arrangement places Z in the 6th slot of Row-1.Based on the positioning, Z is the individual who faces the vacant seat in row-2.
