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.

Which of the following persons faces an immediate neighbor of the one who faces V?

The correct answer is U.

Step 1: Understand the Seating Layout
• Row 1 (Facing South): J, K, L, M, N, O, P
- For individuals facing South, "Right" is towards position 1 (West) and "Left" is towards position 7 (East).
• Row 2 (Facing North): S, T, U, V, W, X, Y
- For individuals facing North, "Left" is towards position 1 (West) and "Right" is towards position 7 (East).

Let us number positions 1 to 7 from Left to Right (West to East).

Step 2: Determine Row 2 (Facing North)
1. W is placed at position 1.
2. S sits second to the right of W, placing S at position 3.
3. Three persons sit between W and U, placing U at position 5.
4. Y sits exactly between S (position 3) and U (position 5), placing Y at position 4.
5. Two persons sit between S (position 3) and V, placing V at position 6.
6. T sits to the immediate right of V, placing T at position 7.
7. The remaining position 2 is occupied by X.

Row 2 (Facing North):
Position 1: W | Position 2: X | Position 3: S | Position 4: Y | Position 5: U | Position 6: V | Position 7: T

Step 3: Determine Row 1 (Facing South)
1. J directly faces U (position 5), so J is at position 5.
2. J sits second to the right of N (facing South). Since right is towards lower position numbers, N is at position 7.
3. P sits to the immediate left of J (facing South), placing P at position 6.
4. K sits at an extreme end. Since position 7 is occupied by N, K is at position 1.
5. M sits second to the left of K (facing South), placing M at position 3.
6. L sits to the immediate right of M (facing South), placing L at position 2.
7. The remaining position 4 is occupied by O.

Row 1 (Facing South):
Position 1: K | Position 2: L | Position 3: M | Position 4: O | Position 5: J | Position 6: P | Position 7: N

Step 4: Solve the Question
• The person facing V (position 6 in Row 2) is P (position 6 in Row 1).
• The immediate neighbors of P are J (position 5) and N (position 7).
• The person facing J is U (and the person facing N is T).
• Therefore, U faces an immediate neighbor of the person facing V.
