Test: Seating Arrangement - Question 1
Save

Each of the 10 persons namely A, Q, R, Z, M, N, P, B, K and L are wearing a shirt. The colour of each shirt is one out of blue, green and red. There are ten chairs placed in a row. The chairs are consecutively numbered 1, 2, 3, 4...9 and 10 from left to right in that order. These ten persons have to sit on the chairs such that there is only one person in each chair. The number of persons wearing a green and a blue shirt is 2 and 3 respectively.

Additional Information:

1. No two persons wearing blue shirts sit on consecutively numbered chairs.

2. Among the persons wearing red shirts, exactly three persons always are sitting together while the remaining two never.

3. A person wearing a blue shirt and a person wearing a green shirt never is sitting on

consecutively numbered chairs.

4. A person wearing a green shirt cannot sit on chairs numbered 2 or 9.

5. Persons wearing red shirts are not sitting at extreme ends.

The following table provides information about the six different seating arrangements namely I, II, III, IV, V and VI of the ten persons done by Mr. Crazy. He observed that out of all the seating arrangements done by him, there is one arrangement that is not consistent with the information stated under "Additional Information".

Q. Which of the arrangements done by Mr. Crazy is not consistent with the information stated under "Additional Information"?

Detailed Solution for Test: Seating Arrangement - Question 1

Let the people who wear a blue, red and green shirt be denoted by b, r and g respectively. Restrictions on the seating arrangement:

1. Two b’s must not be together.

2. Three r’s must be together.

3. A ‘b’ and a ‘g’ must not be together.

4. A ‘g’ cannot sit on a chair numbered 2 or 9.

Case I: 

A person wearing a green shirt is sitting on chair numbered 1. It is only possible if another person wearing a green shirt sits on chair numbered 2, but this violates restriction number 4.

Hence, this is also not possible.

Case II:

A person wearing a blue shirt sits on chair numbered 1. The six seating arrangements that are possible are as follows.

Now, we see that the cases 4, 5 and 6 are just obtained by reversing the cases 1, 2 and 3 respectively. It can be concluded that in any possible seating arrangement, the chairs numbered 1 and 10 are always occupied by people wearing blue shirts. It is given that the number of people wearing a blue shirt is 3. Looking at the table given in the question, we observe that in each of the six arrangements two out of the three different people i.e. A, B and N always sit on chairs numbered 1 and 10.Hence it can be concluded that the people who wear a blue shirt are A, B and N From the given table the person wearing a blue shirt can never sit on chairs numbered 2, 4, 7 and 9. So, (in arrangement I), A, B and N sitting on chairs numbered 1, 7 and 10 is inconsistent. Also, the people wearing red shirts sit on chairs numbered 2 and 9 and in all the possible arrangements five different people namely P, Q, M, Z and R are sitting on chairs numbered either 2 or 9. Therefore, P, Q, M, Z and R are wearing red shirts and K and

L are wearing green shirts.

(a) I arrangement is not consistent.

Detailed Solution for Test: Seating Arrangement - Question 6

P sits two seats to the left of R, and Q sits two seats to the right of R. We can represent this information in the diagram below.

We will take each choice and see whether it fits in the arrangement that we represented through a diagram in the analysis of the data (the same diagram is reproduced below).
