Question

The figure below shows the spatial arrangement of rooms in a building with access from the exterior, marked as 'entry'. Identify the appropriate diagram showing the access to rooms starting from the entry. \begin{center} \includegraphics[width=0.45\textwidth]{05.jpeg} \end{center}

• A. A
• B. B
• C. C
• D. D

Hint:

In spatial arrangement questions, always start mapping from the entry point. Build connections room by room, then compare with the graph/tree diagrams provided.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is C

Step 1: Identify entry point.
From the building plan, entry is through room \(A\), located at the bottom center. This is our starting node.

Step 2: Direct connections from \(A\).
From room \(A\): - \(A \leftrightarrow B\) (left side), - \(A \leftrightarrow H\) (right side), - \(A \leftrightarrow I\) (upper side). Thus, \(A\) has three immediate connections.

Step 3: Connections of room \(I\).
From \(I\): - \(I \leftrightarrow C\) (left), - \(I \leftrightarrow G\) (right), - \(I \leftrightarrow E\) (upper side).

Step 4: Remaining connections.
- \(C\) connects further to \(D\). - \(G\) connects further to \(F\). - \(E\) connects further upward to no additional rooms. So the structure is hierarchical, extending upward and sideways.

Step 5: Match with given diagrams.
- (A) shows a linear sequence, which does not fit. - (B) shows a chain with side extension, which misses the branching nature. - (C) shows a central entry leading to \(B, H, I\), then further branches to \(D, E, F, G\), which matches perfectly. - (D) shows a star with equal distribution, which does not match the actual connections.

Final Answer: \[ \boxed{\text{(C) Diagram C}} \]
