Study the following information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Ten students are sitting in two parallel rows containing five students each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent students. In row - 1 A, B, C, D and E are seated and all of them are facing north. In row - 2 V, W, X, Y and Z are seated and all of them are facing south.
A sits in the middle of row - 1. Z sits opposite to A. W sits at the extreme left end of row - 2. X sits to the immediate right of W. Y faces the student who sits to the immediate left of A. V sits to the right of Y. D sits to the immediate left of E.

Based on the given arrangement, four of the following five are similar in a specific manner and thus constitute a group. Which of the following does not fit into this group?

Correct Answer: The correct option is E.

Step-by-step Arrangement Analysis:

Let us analyze the given information step-by-step to determine the seating arrangement for both rows:

• Row 1 (facing North): Contains 5 positions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] from left to right for students A, B, C, D, E.

• Row 2 (facing South): Contains 5 positions [1, 2, 3, 4, 5] from right to left (since facing South, left and right are reversed relative to Row 1) for students V, W, X, Y, Z.

1. Position of A and Z:

A sits in the middle of Row-1 (position 3).

Z sits opposite to A, so Z sits in the middle of Row-2 (position 3).

2. Positions of W, X, Y, V:

Row-2 is facing South. So the extreme left end of Row-2 is position 5 (the rightmost spot when looking from North).

W sits at the extreme left end of Row-2 (position 5).

X sits to the immediate right of W (moving towards South's right, which is position 4).

The student to the immediate left of A (facing North) is at position 2 in Row-1. Y faces this student, so Y is at position 2 in Row-2.

V sits to the right of Y (in Row-2, facing South, right of position 2 is position 1). So V is at position 1 in Row-2.

Thus, Row-2 from left to right (facing South) is: W (pos 5), X (pos 4), Z (pos 3), Y (pos 2), V (pos 1).

3. Positions of D, E, B, C in Row 1:

D sits to the immediate left of E in Row-1 (facing North). The available consecutive positions in Row-1 are positions 1 and 2 (since position 3 is occupied by A).

Therefore, D is at position 1 and E is at position 2.

The remaining student in Row-1 (B or C) sits at position 4 or 5.

Thus, Row-1 from left to right (facing North) is: D (pos 1), E (pos 2), A (pos 3), B/C (pos 4), C/B (pos 5).

Determining the Odd One Out:

Let's look at the positions of the students given in the options:

• A: Sits in the middle (Row-1, pos 3)

• B: Sits at an extreme end / non-left corner spot (Row-1, pos 4/5)

• V: Sits at an extreme end of Row-2 (pos 1)

• W: Sits at an extreme end of Row-2 (pos 5)

• E: Sits at position 2 (immediate left of middle), which is not an extreme end nor the middle seat.

Looking closely at the extreme positions of both rows: D (extreme end), B/C (extreme end), W (extreme end), V (extreme end), A (middle seat opposite Z), and E is seated at position 2, which does not sit at an extreme position unlike W, V, and others, or forms the distinct non-fitting entity among the choices.

Therefore, E does not fit into the group.
