💡 Analysis & Explanation
Directional Sorting Rule ▼
The passage clearly isolates three individuals into the North-facing category: Biswajyot, Derek (via diagonal logic placing him opposite South-facing Fatima), and Evan.
Group Elimination Strategy ▼
With three individuals locked into the North-facing row, the remaining three must inherently occupy the South-facing row.
Remaining Entity Extraction ▼
The puzzle explicitly mentions Chitra gets a South-facing flat, and Fatima is in the same row (diagonally opposite a North-facer). This leaves Arun as the sole remaining unplaced person, who must join them.
Conclusion ▼
Consequently, Arun, Chitra, and Fatima form the complete trio for the South-facing flats.
