Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's determine the placement of all six individuals in two rows (Top Row and Bottom Row), both facing North. Each row contains 3 positions (Left, Middle, Right).
"Fuji and Mac are sitting diagonally opposite."
"Ukain is in the top row and to the immediate right of Fuji."
Since Ukain is to the immediate right of Fuji in the top row, Fuji cannot be at the rightmost end. Thus, Fuji must be at either the Left or Middle position of the Top Row.
Since Ukain is to his immediate right, Fuji must be at the Top-Left position, and Ukain must be at the Top-Middle position.
Since Fuji is at the Top-Left position and Mac is diagonally opposite to him, Mac must be at the Bottom-Right position.
"Krish is second to the left of Mac"
Mac is at the Bottom-Right. Second to the left of Mac means Krish is at the Bottom-Left position.
"Yam and Krish are not in the same row."
Krish is in the Bottom Row, so Yam must be in the Top Row.
The remaining position in the Top Row is Top-Right, so Yam is placed there.
Now, the only remaining position is Bottom-Middle, which must be occupied by the remaining person, Charlie.
Let's summarize the arrangement:
Top Row: Fuji (Left), Ukain (Middle), Yam (Right)
Bottom Row: Krish (Left), Charlie (Middle), Mac (Right)
The question asks: "Who is sitting opposite to Charlie?"
Looking at the arrangement, Ukain is in the Middle position of the Top Row, directly opposite to Charlie who is in the Middle position of the Bottom Row.
"Fuji and Mac are sitting diagonally opposite."
"Ukain is in the top row and to the immediate right of Fuji."
Since Ukain is to the immediate right of Fuji in the top row, Fuji cannot be at the rightmost end. Thus, Fuji must be at either the Left or Middle position of the Top Row.
Since Ukain is to his immediate right, Fuji must be at the Top-Left position, and Ukain must be at the Top-Middle position.
Since Fuji is at the Top-Left position and Mac is diagonally opposite to him, Mac must be at the Bottom-Right position.
"Krish is second to the left of Mac"
Mac is at the Bottom-Right. Second to the left of Mac means Krish is at the Bottom-Left position.
"Yam and Krish are not in the same row."
Krish is in the Bottom Row, so Yam must be in the Top Row.
The remaining position in the Top Row is Top-Right, so Yam is placed there.
Now, the only remaining position is Bottom-Middle, which must be occupied by the remaining person, Charlie.
Let's summarize the arrangement:
Top Row: Fuji (Left), Ukain (Middle), Yam (Right)
Bottom Row: Krish (Left), Charlie (Middle), Mac (Right)
The question asks: "Who is sitting opposite to Charlie?"
Looking at the arrangement, Ukain is in the Middle position of the Top Row, directly opposite to Charlie who is in the Middle position of the Bottom Row.
