Read the following passage and answer the questions.
An employee has been assigned the task of allotting offices to six of the staff members. The offices are numbered 1 - 6. The offices are arranged in a row and they are separated from each other by six foot high dividers. Hence voices, sounds and cigarette smoke flow easily from one office to another. Miss Ruby needs to use the telephone quite often throughout the day. Mr. Minhas and Mr. Brar need adjacent offices as they need to consult each other often while working. Miss Harsha is a senior employee and has to be allotted the office number 5, having the biggest window. Mr. Dongre requires silence in the offices next to his. Mr. Tanjore, Mr. Minhas and Mr. Dongre are all smokers. Miss Harsha finds tobacco smoke allergic and consequently the offices next to hers are to be occupied by non-smokers. Unless specifically stated all the employees maintain an atmosphere of silence during office hours.
In this question, it is given that Miss Harsha has been allotted Room 5 and she requires her neighbor to be non-smokers. This can be represented as follows
This implies Room 1, 2 and 3 have to be occupied by smokers as there are 3 smokers.
