Eight persons namely A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a straight line from East to West. Some are facing North direction and some are facing South direction. H sits to the third left of C and faces South. F is sitting at one of the extreme ends and is facing North. B and G are facing in same direction and person sitting between them is facing in opposite direction. A is sitting third from left end and is facing South direction. A is sitting adjacent to and both are facing in opposite direction. is sitting to the right of and both are facing in same direction. C is facing in North direction. A and D are not neighbours. Neighbors of H are facing in same direction which is opposite to the direction of H is facing. E sits to the right of A . Which one of the following statement is correct?
Options
- AA sits between G and B
- BD sits to thesecond left of H
- CH and B are facing same direction
- DPerson sitting to the left of A faces direction
Correct answer
B. D sits to thesecond left of H
Step-by-step solution
A is 3rd from the Left (Pos 3), facing South.
E sits to the right of A (Pos 2 or 1). Since E is adjacent to A and faces the opposite direction, (\mathbf{E}) is at Pos 2 facing North.
F is at an extreme end facing North. Since Pos 1/2 are occupied or adjacent, F must be at Pos 8.
C faces North. H (South) sits 3rd to the left of C. Placing C at Pos 7 puts H at Pos 4.
H's neighbors (Pos 3 and 5) face North. So, Pos 5 faces North.
Remaining spots are B, G, D. D is right of B. B and G face the same direction.
The final arrangement: (\mathbf{F}(\mathbf{8}, \mathbf{N}), \mathbf{C}(\mathbf{7}, \mathbf{N}), \mathbf{G}(\mathbf{6}, ).
D (Pos 5) sits to the second left of H (Pos 4, facing South). Statement (B) is correct.
