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

Fourteen persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing seven persons each. In row 1 - H, I, J, K, L, M and N are seated and all of them are facing north. While T, U, V, W, X, Y and Z are sitting in row 2 and facing south direction, but not necessarily in the same order. Persons of row 1 face the persons of row 2.

N sits second from the left end of row 1. W faces N and sits third to the right of Y. L faces Y. One person sits between L and J, who sits at one of the extreme ends. U faces J. M sits to the immediate left of L and T faces M. V sits to the immediate right of T. H sits second to the left of L. K sits at the extreme left end of row 1. X sits to the left of Y, but does not sit at the extreme end.

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

The correct answer is M.

Step-by-step Explanation:

Let 1 to 7 represent positions from Left to Right based on North-facing orientation (where Position 1 is the West/Left end and Position 7 is the East/Right end).

Row 1 faces North: Left is towards Pos 1, Right is towards Pos 7.
Row 2 faces South: Right is towards Pos 1 (West), Left is towards Pos 7 (East).

1. Placing N, W, Y, and L:
- N sits second from the left end of Row 1 ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 2) = N.
- W faces N ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 2) = W.
- W sits third to the right of Y in Row 2 (facing South) ⇒ Y is at Pos 2 + 3 = Pos 5 ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 5) = Y.
- L faces Y ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 5) = L.

2. Placing J and U:
- One person sits between L and J, and J sits at one of the extreme ends. Since L is at Pos 5, J must be at Pos 7 ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 7) = J.
- U faces J ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 7) = U.

3. Placing M, T, V, H, and K:
- M sits to the immediate left of L in Row 1 ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 4) = M.
- T faces M ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 4) = T.
- V sits to the immediate right of T in Row 2 (facing South) ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 3) = V.
- H sits second to the left of L in Row 1 ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 3) = H.
- K sits at the extreme left end of Row 1 ⇒ Row 1 (Pos 1) = K.
- The only remaining person in Row 1 is I, who sits at Row 1 (Pos 6).

4. Placing X and Z:
- X sits to the left of Y in Row 2 (facing South) but not at an extreme end ⇒ Row 2 (Pos 6) = X.
- The only remaining person in Row 2 is Z, who sits at Row 2 (Pos 1).

Final Seating Arrangement:

Row 2 (Facing South): Z (Pos 1) | W (Pos 2) | V (Pos 3) | T (Pos 4) | Y (Pos 5) | X (Pos 6) | U (Pos 7)
Row 1 (Facing North): K (Pos 1) | N (Pos 2) | H (Pos 3) | M (Pos 4) | L (Pos 5) | I (Pos 6) | J (Pos 7)

Finding the odd one out:
- K sits at the extreme left end of Row 1.
- Z sits at the extreme right end (West end) of Row 2.
- U sits at the extreme left end (East end) of Row 2.
- J sits at the extreme right end of Row 1.
- M sits at Pos 4 (a middle position), not at an extreme end.

All persons except M sit at the extreme ends of their respective rows. Therefore, M does not belong to the group.
