CAT 2003 Slot 2 — DILR Question 16
Answer the following question based on the information given below.
The plan above shows an office block for six officers, A, B, C, D, E and F. Both B and C occupy offices to the right of corridor (as one enters the office block) and A occupies an office to the left of the corridor. E and F occupy offices on opposite sides of the corridor but their offices do not face each other. The offices of C and D face each other. E does not have a corner office. F’s office is further down the corridor than A’s, but on the same side.
Whose office faces A’s office?
Answer & solution
- A
B
- B
C
- C
D
E
From the data given we can figure out that A, F and D have offices on the left side of the corridor and B, E and C have offices on the right side of the corridor.
âµ E cannot occupy the corner office.
∴ E occupies an office in the middle of the right corridor.
âµ F cannot sit opposite E and A has to occupy an office before F.
∴ F occupies an office at far end of the left side of the corridor.
∴ D and C have to be at the beginning of the corridor.
∴ A has to be in the middle of the left corridor and B has to be at the far end of the right corridor.
From the arrangement given in the solution of the first question of the set we get that,
E’s office faces A’s office.
Hence, option (d).
