right end of their row and is exactly opposite T. A sits at the extreme left end of their
row and is exactly opposite O. (Persons facing south are exactly opposite to persons
facing north)
Who sits at the centre of the row of people facing South?
This problem involves a seating arrangement puzzle with two parallel rows.
Arrangement Setup
- Two parallel rows with 3 people each.
- Row 1: P, O, T facing South.
- Row 2: A, E, R facing North.
Deducing Positions
We use the given clues to determine the exact seating arrangement:
- A sits at the extreme left end of the row facing North. This means the North row looks like: A _ _ (facing North).
- E sits at the extreme right end of their row. Since E faces North, the North row is: A _ E (facing North).
- The remaining person in the North row is R. So, the North row is: A R E (facing North).
- A is exactly opposite O. Since A is at the left end of the North row, O must be at the left end of the South row: O _ _ (facing South).
- E is exactly opposite T. Since E is at the right end of the North row, T must be at the right end of the South row: O _ T (facing South).
- The remaining person in the South row is P. So, the South row is: O P T (facing South).
Final Seating Arrangement
The complete arrangement is:
| North Row | A | R | E |
| South Row | O | P | T |
Identifying the Center Person (South Row)
The row of people facing South consists of O, P, and T.
- O is at the left end.
- P is in the center.
- T is at the right end.
Therefore, P sits at the centre of the row of people facing South.
