Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the question given below.

Fourteen individuals are seated in two parallel rows containing seven people each, facing each other. J, K, L, M, N, O, and P are sitting in Row 1 facing south, while S, T, U, V, W, X, and Y are sitting in Row 2 facing north, though not necessarily in that order.

J sits second to the right of N and directly faces U. Three persons sit between U and W. S sits second to the right of W. Two persons sit between S and V. T sits to the immediate right of V. Y sits exactly between S and U. K sits at one of the extreme ends of the row. M sits second to the left of K. L sits to the immediate right of M. P sits to the immediate left of J.

What is the position of M with respect to J?

The correct answer is Second to the right.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Fourteen people are seated in two parallel rows with 7 people in each row. Let us number the positions from 1 to 7 from Left to Right (relative to North).

Step 1: Determine the seating arrangement of Row 2 (Facing North)
1. U and W: Three persons sit between U and W, and S sits second to the right of W. Placing W at position 1 means S is at position 3 and U is at position 5.
2. Y: Y sits exactly between S (position 3) and U (position 5), so Y is at position 4.
3. V and T: Two persons sit between S and V. Since S is at position 3, V must be at position 6. T sits to the immediate right of V, placing T at position 7.
4. X: The only remaining seat in Row 2 is position 2, which is occupied by X.
Row 2 arrangement (Position 1 to 7): W, X, S, Y, U, V, T

Step 2: Determine the seating arrangement of Row 1 (Facing South)
Note: For individuals facing South, "Right" points towards smaller position numbers (towards position 1) and "Left" points towards larger position numbers (towards position 7).
1. J: J directly faces U (position 5), so J is at position 5.
2. N: J sits second to the right of N. Since facing South means Right is towards position 1, N must be at position 7.
3. P: P sits to the immediate left of J (towards position 7), so P is at position 6.
4. K: K sits at one of the extreme ends. Position 7 is occupied by N, so K is at position 1.
5. M: M sits second to the left of K (position 1). Moving left facing South means moving towards position 7, so M is at position 3.
6. L: L sits to the immediate right of M (towards position 1), so L is at position 2.
7. O: The remaining seat in Row 1 is position 4, which is occupied by O.
Row 1 arrangement (Position 1 to 7): K, L, M, O, J, P, N

Step 3: Position of M with respect to J
- J is at position 5 facing South.
- M is at position 3.
- From J's perspective (facing South), position 4 is immediate right and position 3 is second to the right.
Hence, M sits Second to the right of J.
