Answers & Solutions:
1) Answer (D)
K sits second from the end of the line and U sits third to the left of K, => Let K sits 2nd from left end, thus K faces south so that U sits 3rd to his left.
T faces south. V sits fourth to the left of T. T is not an immediate neighbour of U. T does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line, => T sits to the immediate left of K and V sits 2nd from right end.
Both the immediate neighbours of J face north. J does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line, => J sits between U and V, while both U and V faces north.
J faces a direction opposite to that of V, => J faces south direction.
L sits second to the left of J, => L sits at extreme right end.
As many people sit between V and J as between U and S, => S sits to the immediate left of U and thus M at left end.
Immediate neighbours of K face opposite directions, => M faces north.

6) Answer (B)
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.
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.
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.
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
J is third to the left of N.
=> Ans – (B)
7) Answer (C)
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.
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.
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.
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
The immediate neighbours of L are K and N.
=> Ans – (C)
8) Answer (D)
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.
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.
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.
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
2 persons (H,J) are standing exactly between I and O.
=> Ans – (D)
9) Answer (A)
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.
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.
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.
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
O is to the immediate left of H.
=> Ans – (A)
10) Answer (E)
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.
L is standing third to the left of H, => L is standing 2nd from left end.
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.
Not more than four persons are facing north, => L, O and J face south direction.
Apart from K, all are facing south.
