Study the following information carefully to answer the given questions:

Eight persons- A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H sit around a square table such that four Persons face inside and sit middle of the table. Four faces outside and sit corner of the table.

G sits second left of C. Three person sits between D and B. H sits opposite A but does not sit at the middle of the table. D sits 2nd left of A. F sits second to the right of C. E sits immediate right of B.

Four of the following five are alike in a certain way and thus form a group. Which among the following does not belong to the group?

Correct Option: A

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the seating arrangement of the eight persons (A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H) around the square table.

Seating Arrangement Rules:
1. Four persons sit at the middle of the sides and face inside (towards the center).
2. Four persons sit at the corners and face outside (away from the center).

Step-by-step Deduction:

1. H sits opposite A but does not sit at the middle of the table.
Since H does not sit at the middle of the table, H must sit at a corner (facing outside). Consequently, since A is opposite H, A must also sit at a corner (facing outside).

2. D sits 2nd left of A.
Since A is at a corner, A faces outside. Sitting 2nd to the left of A (facing outside) places D at another corner (facing outside).

3. Three persons sit between D and B.
In an 8-person circular/square table arrangement, sitting 3 persons away means B sits directly opposite D. Since D is at a corner, B must also sit at a corner (facing outside).

4. E sits immediate right of B.
B is at a corner facing outside. The immediate right of B (facing outside) is a middle position (facing inside). Thus, E sits at the middle of a side.

5. F sits second to the right of C and G sits second to the left of C.
The four corners are occupied by A, H, D, and B. Therefore, the remaining four persons (C, E, F, and G) must occupy the four middle positions of the table. Thus, C, E, F, and G all face inside.

Finding the Odd One Out:

Let us check the positions and facing directions of the options given:

- F: Sits in the middle of a side (faces Inside)
- E: Sits in the middle of a side (faces Inside)
- G: Sits in the middle of a side (faces Inside)
- C: Sits in the middle of a side (faces Inside)
- A: Sits at a corner of the table (faces Outside)

Four of the options (F, E, G, C) sit in the middle of the side facing inside, whereas A sits at a corner facing outside. Therefore, A does not belong to the group.
