The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of accommodating six friends in a row of nine rooms while adhering to the given conditions, we can follow these steps: ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Identify the Rooms**: We have 9 rooms in total, which we can label as Room 1 to Room 9. 2. **Conditions**: - A, E, and F cannot be in Room 1 or Room 9 (the end rooms). - B and A must not have anyone adjacent to their rooms. - There must be one empty room between A and F. - C is adjacent to both G and F. - E is next to the room at the beginning (Room 1). 3. **Placing E**: Since E is next to Room 1, we can place E in Room 2. - Current arrangement: Room 1 (empty), Room 2 (E), Room 3 (empty), Room 4 (empty), Room 5 (empty), Room 6 (empty), Room 7 (empty), Room 8 (empty), Room 9 (empty). 4. **Placing A and F**: A and F cannot be in Rooms 1 or 9. Since there must be an empty room between A and F, they can be placed in Rooms 4 and 6, respectively (or vice versa). - Let's place A in Room 4 and F in Room 6: - Current arrangement: Room 1 (empty), Room 2 (E), Room 3 (empty), Room 4 (A), Room 5 (empty), Room 6 (F), Room 7 (empty), Room 8 (empty), Room 9 (empty). 5. **Placing C and G**: C must be adjacent to both G and F. Since F is in Room 6, C can be placed in Room 5, and G can be placed in Room 7. - Current arrangement: Room 1 (empty), Room 2 (E), Room 3 (empty), Room 4 (A), Room 5 (C), Room 6 (F), Room 7 (G), Room 8 (empty), Room 9 (B). 6. **Placing B**: The only room left for B is Room 9. B can be placed in Room 9 as it has no adjacent rooms. - Final arrangement: Room 1 (empty), Room 2 (E), Room 3 (empty), Room 4 (A), Room 5 (C), Room 6 (F), Room 7 (G), Room 8 (empty), Room 9 (B). 7. **Identify Empty Rooms**: The empty rooms are Rooms 1, 3, and 8. ### Conclusion: The empty rooms are **Room 1, Room 3, and Room 8**.
