Directions: Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow:

14 individuals are seated in two parallel rows containing seven people each. H, I, J, K, L, M, and N sit in Row 1 facing north, while T, U, V, W, X, Y, and Z sit in Row 2 facing south, but not necessarily in the same order. Each person in Row 1 directly faces a person in Row 2.

I sits at one of the extreme ends of Row 1. Three persons sit between I and J. The person facing J sits second to the right of V, who does not sit at any extreme end. Two persons sit between V and W, who faces H. Two persons sit between H and M. K sits to the immediate left of M. L sits to the left of N, and N does not sit adjacent to H. T sits at one of the extreme ends of Row 2. X sits third to the left of T. Y sits to the left of Z, and Y does not face N.

Who among the following faces I?

The correct option is Y.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We are given 14 people seated in two parallel rows facing each other with 7 people in each row:
• Row 1 (Facing North): H, I, J, K, L, M, N (Left to Right: Positions 1 to 7)
• Row 2 (Facing South): T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z (Facing South means Right is towards Position 1 and Left is towards Position 7)

Step 1: Determine the positions of I, J, V, W, and H
1. I sits at one of the extreme ends of Row 1.
2. Three persons sit between I and J.
• If I is at position 1, J would be at position 5. The person facing J (Row 2, pos 5) sits 2nd to the right of V, which puts V at position 7 (extreme end). But V cannot sit at an extreme end. Hence, I cannot be at position 1.
• Therefore, I must be at position 7 (right end of Row 1), and J is at position 3.
3. The person facing J is at position 3 of Row 2. Since this person is second to the right of V (facing South), V must be at position 5 of Row 2.
4. Two persons sit between V (pos 5) and W. So, W is at position 2 of Row 2.
5. W faces H, so H is at position 2 of Row 1.

Step 2: Determine the positions of M, K, N, and L in Row 1
1. Two persons sit between H (pos 2) and M, placing M at position 5 of Row 1.
2. K sits to the immediate left of M, so K is at position 4 of Row 1.
3. Remaining positions in Row 1 are 1 and 6 for L and N.
4. N does not sit adjacent to H (pos 2), so N cannot be at position 1. Thus, N is at position 6, and L is at position 1.

Row 1 Final Seating (Positions 1 to 7, facing North):
Position 1: L | Position 2: H | Position 3: J | Position 4: K | Position 5: M | Position 6: N | Position 7: I

Step 3: Determine the positions of T, X, Y, Z, and U in Row 2
1. T sits at an extreme end of Row 2.
2. X sits third to the left of T (facing South). Since left is towards position 7, T must be at position 1 and X at position 4.
3. Currently, positions 2 (W), 5 (V), 1 (T), and 4 (X) are filled in Row 2.
4. The remaining positions in Row 2 are 3, 6, and 7 for U, Y, and Z.
5. Y sits to the left of Z (meaning Y has a higher position number than Z) and Y does not face N (position 6). Therefore, Y cannot be at position 6.
6. Thus, Y must be at position 7 of Row 2.

Conclusion:
Person I is seated at position 7 of Row 1 (facing North), and person Y is seated directly opposite at position 7 of Row 2 (facing South).
Therefore, Y faces I.
