This question was more about your scrolling and eye coordination ability than reasoning...😆

Answer 1

Only in option D, we see that that Z has been assigned in S-W zone. Hence no scope of confusion with other options.

Moreover X and Y's requests have also been satisfied : X has not been assigned close to the garden.

Y has not been assigned close to the washroom.

In Option D isn't Z staying in S-E wing instead of S-W?

Yes if you consider the actual option sequence given in GATE 19 then option (D) (Here in GO) was given in option (B)(in Actual paper) which is correct answer and i think you're talking about options (D)(Given in the official Response Sheet) then yes Z is staying in S-E wing :)

Answer 2

X want not live nearby garden  due to pollen allergy

Y want not live nearby wash room(WR)

Z want  to live in the South West wing

Clear it is option D

Because x is far from garden   Y is far from wash room  and Z is staying in South West wing
