Solving the Seating Arrangement Puzzle
This problem involves determining the relative positions of four friends (Ankita, Shruti, Payal, Mahak) sitting at the corners of a rectangular table.
Visualizing the Table Setup
Imagine a rectangular table with four corners. We can label these corners as Top-Left (TL), Top-Right (TR), Bottom-Left (BL), and Bottom-Right (BR).
Applying the Clues
- Clue 1: Shruti is sitting diagonally opposite to Payal. Let's place Shruti at the TL corner and Payal at the BR corner.
- Clue 2: Ankita is sitting to the right of Shruti. From Shruti's position at TL, her right is the TR corner. So, Ankita is at TR.
- Placement of Mahak: The only remaining corner is BL, so Mahak must be sitting there.
Final Arrangement
The arrangement is:
- Shruti: Top-Left (TL)
- Ankita: Top-Right (TR)
- Mahak: Bottom-Left (BL)
- Payal: Bottom-Right (BR)
Determining Ankita's Position Relative to Mahak
With Mahak at BL and Ankita at TR, they are located at corners that are diagonally opposite to each other on the rectangular table.
Therefore, Ankita is sitting Diagonally opposite to Mahak.
