Drag the badges to each employee, sorting them from 1 (fastest) to 6 (slowest).
Understand the Problem
The question is asking to rank employees based on their typing speed according to the given relationships. We need to deduce the correct order from the clues provided.
Answer
1. Ian, 2. Charlie, 3. Quentin, 4. Daniela, 5. Jasmine, 6. Thandi
Answer for screen readers
The final ranking of employees from fastest to slowest is:
- Ian
- Charlie
- Quentin
- Daniela
- Jasmine
- Thandi
Steps to Solve
- Analyze Charlie and Daniela's Relation Charlie and Daniela have exactly two employees between them. This suggests the possible arrangements (from left to right):
- Charlie - (employee 1) - (employee 2) - Daniela
- Daniela - (employee 1) - (employee 2) - Charlie
- Incorporate Ian and Quentin's Relation Ian is faster than Quentin with exactly one employee between them. This gives the possible arrangements:
- Ian - (employee) - Quentin
- Quentin - (employee) - Ian
- Include Quentin and Daniela's Relation Quentin is faster than Daniela with exactly one employee between them. This means:
- Quentin - (employee) - Daniela
- Daniela - (employee) - Quentin
- Combine All Relations Now, we combine all the information. By placing Quentin to the left of Daniela:
- Quentin (faster) - (employee) - Daniela (slower) This gives:
- Quentin (1) - Ian (2) - (employee) - Daniela (4)
- Determine the Positions Since Thandi is slower than Daniela, she must be in the lowest spot. Thus, the arrangement becomes:
- Ian (fastest) - Quentin - Daniela - Thandi
- Ian (2) - Quentin (3) - Daniela (4) - Thandi (6)
- Final Arrangement of Employees Given that Ian must be faster than Quentin but slower than Charlie, and all other clues, the final ranking (with Jasmine unplaced but likely second):
- Ian (1)
- Charlie (2)
- Quentin (3)
- Daniela (4)
- Jasmine (5)
- Thandi (6)
The final ranking of employees from fastest to slowest is:
- Ian
- Charlie
- Quentin
- Daniela
- Jasmine
- Thandi
