How we can finalize that Apachi must at extreme left of the row from the statement japachi sits two places to right of Apachi

Question:

DIRECTIONS: These questions are based on the data given below.


There are six males - Apachi, Chapachi, Epachi, Hachi, Japachi and Lathachi and six females - Banami, Danami, Funami, Gunami, Lonami and Kayami, sitting along the longer sides of a rectangular bench, on two opposite sides directly facing each other. Each longer side has six seats. No male sits either adjacent to or opposite to another male.

Also, the following information is available.

(a) Apachi is sitting diagonally opposite to Lathachi.

(b) Danami is sitting opposite to Japachi.

(c) Chapachi is not opposite to Lonami, but sits between Banami and Danami.

(d) Funami sits opposite to Lathachi and Gunami sits opposite to Apachi.

(e) Japachi sits two places to the right of Apachi.

Who is sitting opposite to Banami?

Options:
A)

Hachi

B)

Epachi

C)

Lonami    

D)

Cannot be determined

Solution:

Ans: (d) 

As Japachi sits two places to right of Apachi, hence Apachi must be the extreme left of a row. Also, Apachi is diagonally opposite to Lathachi, who sits opposite to Funami. Hence, we get the following arrangement.

(m ⟶ Male, f ⟶ Female)

  

As Danami is opposite to Japachi, we can locate the places of Banami and Chapachi. Then Kayami, must be sitting to the immediate right of Japachi. As Lonami does not sit opposite to Chapachi, hence the only place left for her is adjacent to Apachi. Hence, we finally get the following arrangement in which the seats of Epachi and Hachi are not fixed.

  

Either Epachi or Hachi sit opposite to Banami.

Dear student,
We will surely try to simplify the explanation part of the question.
