Seating Arrangement

MCQ - 141-775

Six friends—Steve, Mary, Paul, Sarah, James and Kathryn—go to the movies and are seated in a block of seats in one row, starting with the aisle seat. Where they sit is decided by the following conditions:
• Kathryn and Steve must sit next to each other.
• James and Mary must sit at least two seats between them.
• Either Kathryn or Paul must have the aisle seat.
• Sarah must sit in the seat one directly next to the aisle seat.
• James must sit next to Sarah.

Question:

Which of the male members of the group has the greatest amount of potential freedom in this scenario?

  1. Steve
  2. Paul
  3. James
  4. Paul

Correct Answer: B

Explanation:

Of the three males listed in the question and the initial conditions, each of them has a specific assignation. James has the greatest level of confinement, as he is not only required to stay at least two seats from Mary, but he must also sit next to Sarah, which limits his potential freedom more than any other male. Steve has only one limitation: he must sit next to Kathryn, which is an invariable condition. Paul, however, has even less of a limitation, in that he is one of two people who can sit in the aisle seat. Since this is the only condition that applies to him, and it is less a requirement than a conditional, Paul therefore has the greatest level of freedom of the males, which makes B correct.
