Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below :
Eight persons - H, I, J, K, L, M, N and O - are standing in a straight line at equidistant. Some of them are facing north while others are facing south. M is standing third to the right to H. M is standing at one of the extreme ends. L is standing third to the left of H. The immediate neighbours of J face north. N is not an immediate neighbour of H. The persons standing at the extreme ends face the same direction (Both are facing either north or south). The immediate neighbours of H face just opposite direction as that of M. The immediate neighbours of O face opposite directions with respect to each other. One of the immediate neighbours of L is K who is facing north. I is standing between J and M. Not more than four persons are facing north.
M is standing third to the right to H and M is standing at one of the extreme ends, => let M is standing at right end, thus H is facing north direction.Â
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.Â
I is standing between J and M, => J is standing to the immediate right of H and I between J and M.
N is not an immediate neighbour of H and one of the immediate neighbours of L is K who is facing north, => O is standing to the immediate left of H.
The immediate neighbours of O face opposite directions with respect to each other, => since H faces north, the other neighbour has to face south (which can't be K), thus N faces south direction and stands between L and O. Thus, K stands at extreme left end facing north.
The persons standing at the extreme ends face the same direction, => M faces north
The immediate neighbours of J face north, => I also face north. Â
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
OÂ is to the immediate left of H.
=> Ans - (A)
