Seating Arrangement Logic Explained
This problem involves determining the positions of people in a row based on given clues. We have seven people (A, B, C, D, E, F, and G) sitting in a straight line, all facing North. We need to figure out how many people are to the right of person C.
Determining D's Position
The first key piece of information is that D is third from the left. Since everyone is facing North, the leftmost position is the first seat from the left end of the row. Let's represent the row with 7 seats:
\(_ _ D _ _ _ _\)
Here, the underscore represents an empty seat, and D is in the 3rd position from the left.
Placing C Relative to D
The next clue states that C is sitting to the immediate right of D. This means C is in the seat directly adjacent to D on the right side. Updating our row representation:
\(_ _ D C _ _ _\)
Now, D is in the 3rd position, and C is in the 4th position from the left.
Counting People to C's Right
The question asks for the number of people sitting to the right of C. In our arrangement \(_ _ D C _ _ _\), the positions to the right of C are the 5th, 6th, and 7th seats.
Let's visualize the occupied seats:
- Seat 1 (Leftmost)
- Seat 2
- Seat 3: D
- Seat 4: C
- Seat 5
- Seat 6
- Seat 7 (Rightmost)
The seats to the right of C are seats 5, 6, and 7. Since each seat is occupied by one person, there are 3 people sitting to the right of C.
