Who amongst the following faces the person from Airtel?

Question

Accepted Answer

Step-by-step reasoning:

1. From “Three people sit between R and the person from Apple” the two must be at extremes of row-2. Trying Apple at $R2_5$ leads to a contradiction with the V/T clue, so Apple must be at $R2_1$ and $R$ at $R2_5$.

2. The one who faces Apple is at $R1_1$. "The person from Reliance is an immediate neighbour of the one who faces the person from Apple" ⇒ Reliance is at $R1_2$. The one who faces Reliance is at $R2_2$. "V sits to the immediate left of the one who faces the person from Reliance" ⇒ V is at $R2_1$ (so V is the Apple person).

3. "Only one person sits between V and T" ⇒ with V at $R2_1$, T must be at $R2_3$.

4. "The person from Bata sits second to the right of the one who faces T." The one who faces T is $R1_3$, so Bata is at $R1_1$.

5. Use row-1 relations (people B,C,D,E,F):
   - "B sits second to the left of C" (for row-1 facing south: left = our right) ⇒ $pos(B)=pos(C)+2$.
   - "F sits second to the left of the person from Google" and "Only two people sit between F and D" lead (by eliminating impossible positions) to the unique row-1 order: $R1_1=C(	ext{Bata}),\ R1_2=D(	ext{Reliance}),\ R1_3=B(	ext{Google}),\ R1_4=E,\ R1_5=F$.

6. "The person from Samsung faces an immediate neighbour of D." D is at $R1_2$, so its neighbours are at columns 1 and 3; Samsung must be at $R2_3$ (since $R2_1$ is Apple/V). Thus T at $R2_3$ is Samsung.

7. "The person from ITC is an immediate neighbour of the person from Vodafone" and "The person from ITC faces the person from HCL" plus "Neither V nor F is from ITC" force ITC to be at $R1_4$ (E) and Vodafone at $R1_5$ (F); then HCL is at $R2_4$ (opposite ITC).

8. "U is an immediate neighbour of the person from Microsoft" and remaining row-2 seats imply Microsoft is at $R2_5$ (R) and U is at $R2_4$ (HCL). Remaining unassigned company at $R2_2$ is Airtel.

Final placement (relevant columns):
- $R1_2$ = D (Reliance)
- $R2_2$ = (Airtel)

Therefore the person from Reliance (D at $R1_2$) faces the person from Airtel. Hence the correct option is: The person from Reliance.
