1) Answer (C)

Let us assign H a corner and work our way from there. The person sitting opposite to H is from New Delhi. This means that H cannot be from a metro. The person sitting third to the right of A who is from Chennai, is from New Delhi which means that the person sitting third to the right of the person from New Delhi is A from Chennai. Now the arrangement will look like this :

H is from Jaipur and person sitting third to the left of H is from Indore. G sits opposite to the person from Indore. The person from Hyderabad is second to the right of G. Now the arrangement will look like this :

B from Chandigarh and F from Kolkata face each other which means that they must sit on the corners. This means that G is from Mumbai as one out of pair of people sitting opposite to each other is from a metro. We also know that the person from Indore is C. Since D faces the table, we know that D is sitting on one of the corners. Since only one corner is left, we know that D is the person from New Delhi.

D and G do not sit along the same side but G sits to the immediate right of D. Therefore, one of them should be sitting along the longer side and the other should be sitting along the shorter side.

C is sitting adjacent to D and third to the right of F. E and F face each other.
E and F cannot sit along the shorter sides since we know that D and G sit on different sides.
Therefore, E and F should sit along the longer sides.

Let us assume that G sits along one of the longer sides and D sits along one of the shorter sides. G sits to the immediate right of D. Therefore, D should face away from the centre of the table. C should face G.

We know that E and F face each other. However, we cannot find a position in the diagram to place F such that C sits third to the right of F. Therefore, we can eliminate this case.

D should sit along the longer side and G should sit along the shorter side. C should sit near D and E should sit near C (since E faces F and C is third to the right of F).

Neither A nor B faces D. Therefore, H should face D. The final arrangement will be as follows:
