Question Details

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.

Option E

T

Solution :

Correct Answer: T

Step-by-step Explanation:

We are given two parallel rows containing seven persons each:
- 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 (Left to Right positions: 1 to 7)

For South-facing persons (Row 2), 'Right' is towards position 1 (West) and 'Left' is towards position 7 (East).

Building the Arrangement:

1. N sits second from the left end of row 1 ⇒ N is at position 2 of Row 1.
2. K sits at the extreme left end of row 1 ⇒ K is at position 1 of Row 1.
3. W faces N ⇒ W is at position 2 of Row 2.
4. W sits third to the right of Y ⇒ Since W is at position 2 facing South, Y must be at position 5 of Row 2.
5. L faces Y ⇒ L is at position 5 of Row 1.
6. M sits to the immediate left of L ⇒ M is at position 4 of Row 1.
7. T faces M ⇒ T is at position 4 of Row 2.
8. V sits to the immediate right of T (facing South) ⇒ V is at position 3 of Row 2.
9. H sits second to the left of L ⇒ H is at position 3 of Row 1.
10. One person sits between L (pos 5) and J, who sits at an extreme end ⇒ J is at position 7 of Row 1.
11. The remaining position in Row 1 (position 6) is occupied by I.
12. U faces J ⇒ U is at position 7 of Row 2.
13. X sits to the left of Y (towards position 7) but not at the extreme end ⇒ X is at position 6 of Row 2.
14. The remaining position 1 of Row 2 is occupied by Z.

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

Solving the Question:
- The person who faces I (Row 1, position 6) is X (Row 2, position 6).
- Since X is facing South, counting two places to the right of X (towards lower position numbers) gives:
- 1st to the right: Y (position 5)
- 2nd to the right: T (position 4)

Hence, T sits second to the right of the one who faces I.
