 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

From iii and iv, we get the following arrangement. But also T is an immediate neighbour of n’s brother. N’s brother can
either be at 3 or 5.

If N’s brother is at 3, according to iv and v, N’s mother should be seated at 7 but it is already occupied by N. Thus this
case is discarded.

If N’s brother is at 5, then, according to iv and v, at 1 will be N’s mother.

SOLUTION:

From (i),

From (ii) and (iii) and since no unmarried females, W and V are males.

Fix V’s position at 8.

This means, according to (iii), R and P can occupy positions 7 and 1.

6
 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

And Also according to (iii), T sits exactly between Q and U.

Also, Only one person sits between R and Q but he is not W.

So, two cases arise. Since in both the cases, Q will sit opposite P, P has to be a male as according to (iii), Q does not sit
opposite a female.

Family tree is

7
 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

As according to (iv), on the immediate left of S has to be a son of S (P or Q), case II will be discarded.

8
 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

According to (iii), W does not sit between Q and R, thus, W will be at 6 and S will be at 2.

Now, there have to be

3 – Artists

2 – Athletes

2 – Teachers

1 – Manager

Since from (vi), Q and U are not Athletes or Astists, they are definitelt Teachers and also we come to know that W is a
Manager.

9
 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

We got 2 teachers, 1 manager and also from (v), it is clear that R and S cannot be artists, thus they are athletes.

Now, remaining three, T , V and P are Artists.

From 8, we know, B sits at one of the centers, thus case I discarded.

11
 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

From 2, A sits exactly between his sister and brother in law. This means A is male having a married sister. But since there
are only three generations is a family, B has two son in laws, this means A has two sisters

E (+)/ B’s A E (+)/ B’s

A’s BIL A’s sister A’s sister A A’s BIL

B(-) B(-)

A’s BIL 2 G G A’s BIL 2

Since A sits next to his sisters, and B has two son in laws, this means B has at least three children, one son and two
daughters. Both the daughters married.

From 7 we know that E is the son in law of G, thus G is a male because mother in law we know is B. Also, E is D’s father.

B(-) X G (+)

 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

In the family tree, 8 positions are filled.

From 6, D sits to the immediate left of her mother who is facing towards the center and who in turn sits third to the right
of her mother. H faces in direction opposite to that of his wife and his mother in law.

From 2,

A’s BIL A (+) A’s sister A’s sister A (+) A’s BIL

 Answer_Assignment 3_Level 3_Seating Arrangement

Both the neighbours of C face the same direction.

F sits to the immediate right of her niece, but in case I, to the immediate right of D (F’s niece) is her mother. Thus case I
discarded. Also, E sits exactly between A and B. Also, H faces direction opposite to his wife and Mother in law. Thus,

From 5 and 7 we know,

Ekta faces the direction similar to that of Chitra but opposite to that of Mehak.

But, Garima and Chitra face away from each other, which means

Chitra faces outside, thus Ekta faces outside and Mehak faces inside. Also, Garima faces outside.

And from 8, the one from Manipal city is working in Amazon, thus the ones not from manipal city cannot do Amazon.
