Step 1: Count wheelchair allocated seats. Looking at the seating plan, there are two sections marked 'A' at the front, on either side of the stage. These sections are designated for wheelchairs. Each 'A' section has 4 wheelchair symbols. Total wheelchair seats = 4 + 4 = 8 seats. Step 2: Calculate total seats excluding wheelchair positions. First, count the total number of standard seats. There are 10 rows of seats, labeled B through K. Each row has two blocks of seats, with 10 seats in each block (10 on the left, 10 on the right). Seats per row = 10 + 10 = 20 seats. Total standard seats = 10 rows × 20 seats/row = 200 seats. Now, subtract the wheelchair positions from the total standard seats. Seats excluding wheelchair positions = 200 - 8 = 192 seats. Step 3: Explain the purpose of a fire exit. A fire exit is a special exit for emergencies, such as a fire, designed to provide a quick and safe evacuation from a building. It is a crucial safety feature to ensure people can leave the building rapidly during an emergency. Here are the answers: 3.1.1 There are 8 seats allocated for wheelchairs. 3.1.2 The hall has 192 seats, excluding positions of the wheelchairs. 3.1.3 A fire exit is present in the hall to provide a safe and quick escape route for occupants in case of an emergency, such as a fire, ensuring their safety.
