i) Two persons sit to the right of D.

ii) Two persons sits between C and D.

iii) A sits second to the left of B.

iv) E does not sit at any extreme ends.

Hence, E sits third to the left of B.

Given: An uncertain number of persons sit on linear row facing towards north direction.

1) R sits fifth from extreme end.

2) K sits three places away from R.

3) As many persons sit between K and X as many between K and R.    

4) Five persons sit between K and M.

5) The number of person sit between M and T is one more than that of between L and R.

8) As many person sit between X and T as many between L and I.

9) The number of person sit to the right of U is one more than to the left of L.

10) I do not sit to the right of X. So, cases 1(a) and 2(b) are eliminated.

11) More than six persons sit between L and T. So, case 2(a) is eliminated.

12) As many persons sit between I and L as many between M and U. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Hence, the strength of row is 23.

11) More than six persons sit between L and T. So, case 2(a) is eliminated.

12) As many persons sit between I and L as many between M and U. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, only I and X is mention here between K and M.

Hence, the correct answer is two.         

Given: An uncertain number of persons sit on linear row facing towards north direction.

1) R sits fifth from extreme end.

2) K sits three places away from R.

3) As many persons sit between K and X as many between K and R.    

4) Five persons sit between K and M.

5) The number of person sit between M and T is one more than that of between L and R.

6) Six persons sit between T and X.

9) The number of person sit to the right of U is one more than to the left of L.

10) I do not sit to the right of X. So, cases 1(a) and 2(b) are eliminated.

11) More than six persons sit between L and T. So, case 2(a) is eliminated.

12) As many persons sit between I and L as many between M and U. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, K and I sits adjacent to each other so statement 1 is correct and more than four person can sit between X and T is correct because it shows possibility and there is five vacant seat present between them.

Hence, the correct answer is more than one option.         

Given: An uncertain number of persons sit on linear row facing towards north direction.

1) R sits fifth from extreme end.

2) K sits three places away from R.

3) As many persons sit between K and X as many between K and R.    

4) Five persons sit between K and M.

5) The number of person sit between M and T is one more than that of between L and R.

6) Six persons sit between T and X.

7) L does not sit adjacent to R.

8) As many person sit between X and T as many between L and I.

9) The number of person sit to the right of U is one more than to the left of L.

10) I do not sit to the right of X. So, cases 1(a) and 2(b) are eliminated.

11) More than six persons sit between L and T. So, case 2(a) is eliminated.

12) As many persons sit between I and L as many between M and U. Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Since, all except MT has two seats between them whereas M and T has three seats between them. 

Hence, the odd one is MT.       

Total eight friends facing north:-  A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H

1) E is third to the left of G. G is sitting at one of the corners.

2) F is sitting between D and G.

3) H is third to the left of C.

4) B is sitting between H and A.

Hence,  'C' is sitting between A and E.

The pattern followed here is:

Given: Eight people, A, B, C, D, E, F, G and H are sitting in a straight line, facing north.

1) Only three people sit to the right of A.

2) Only one person sits between A and B

3) Only four people sit between B and D.  F sits to the immediate right of D.

5) C is neither an immediate neighbour of B nor D.

6) E sits second to the right of G.

7) H sits in the vacant place.

Clearly, three person are sit between H and A.

Hence, the correct answer is "Three".

Solution:

1. Seven friends O, P, Q, R, S, T and U are watching a movie sitting in a row.

2. S is sitting at one extreme end.

3. Q is sitting second to the right of S.

4. P is sitting between O and Q. O is not at any extreme end.

5. U is not sitting at any extreme end.

6. R is sitting immediate left of T.

So, the final arrangement will be as shown below:

Hence, ‘P’ is sitting in the middle.

Seven friends K, L, M, N, O, P and Q are sitting in a straight line.

1. K is second from the right end.

2. P is third from the left end and is to the immediate left of O.

3. Only Q is between P and L.

4. Two friends are sitting between M and O.

5. M is at one of the ends.

6. K is not sitting adjacent to O.

Only one person N is left and N will occupy the vacant position.

The final arrangement will be as shown below:

Clearly, N is sitting at the third place from the right end.

hence, 'N' is the correct answer.

Total five friends facing south:-  P, Q, R, S and T

1) Q is sitting in the centre position.

2) P is sitting at the west end.

3) Two persons are sitting between P and R.

4) T and R are sitting on one side of Q.

The final sitting arrangement is

Hence, 'S' is sitting between Q and P.

Six Persons: S, T, U, V, W and X

Facing: North

1) W and T are sitting at the fourth position from the left end and the right end, respectively.

2) U and X are not the immediate neighbours of T and W.

3) S is sitting at the fifth position from the right end.

So, final sitting arrangement:

Hence, “V” is sitting at the second position from the right end.

Given: Six friends A, B, C, D, E and F are sitting on a bench facing north.

(1): B is sitting at one extreme end of the bench. So, there have two possibilities

Case(I): 

Case (II):

(2): F is an immediate neighbour of both just D and B.

Case(I):

Case (II):

(3): A is sitting second to the right of C, who is an immediate neighbour of D. i.e. A is sitting second to the right of C and C is an immediate neighbour of D.

So, Case (II) is eliminated. 

Case (I):

Then, the final arrangement is:

Therefore, A is sitting at the other extreme end. 

Hence, the correct answer is A.

Let us consider that all of them are facing north.

1. Seven friends O, P, Q, R, S, T and U are watching a movie sitting in a row.

2. S is sitting at one extreme end.

3. Q is sitting second to the right of S.

4. P is sitting between O and Q.

5. U is not sitting at any extreme end.

6. R is sitting to the left of T.

Total 6 persons facing north:-  Amit, Gaurav, Hatim, Varun, Yukti and Zaid.

1) Hatim is fourth to the left of Yukti.

2) Yukti is sitting at one corner.

3) Gaurav is fourth to the left of Amit.

4) Zaid is third to the right of Gaurav.

5) Only Varun is left which is sitting in a blank place.

Hence, 'Hatim' is sitting in the second place to the left of Zaid.

Hence, the correct answer is "Hatim".

Total boys are 6 as P, Q, R, S, T, and U.

Q is second to the right of S.

R is the second right of Q.

Now combining both statements-

P is fourth to the left of U. U is not sitting on the extreme ends of the row i.e. U should be placed between Q and R than only we can arrange P as 4th left of U.

Now Blank placed will be with boy T.

T is sitting second to the right of P.

Hence, Option (2) is correct.
