Step-by-step solution
To solve the final question regarding the seating of eight people from different banks in two parallel rows, we map the constraints provided:
- Row Formation: A faces north and sits second to the left of the Punjab National Bank (PNB) employee. D faces south, is opposite B, and sits to the immediate right of the Bank of Maharashtra employee.
- Bank Mapping: Canara Bank faces north, opposite C. Dena Bank is opposite Canara Bank.
- E's Position: By process of elimination, E belongs to the north-facing row. Dena Bank (south row) is positioned opposite C , making it an immediate neighbor to the person opposite A.
Answer: (B) The person from Dena Bank is an immediate neighbour of (\mathbf{E}).
