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

Ten persons—V, W, X, Y, Z and A, B, C, D, E—are sitting in two parallel rows containing five persons each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In Row 1, V, W, X, Y, and Z are sitting and all of them are facing South. In Row 2, A, B, C, D, and E are sitting and all of them are facing North. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement, each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row.

A sits at the exact middle of Row 2. The person who faces A sits second to the left of Y. Only one person sits between Y and W. E faces W and sits second to the left of B. C sits to the immediate left of E. Z sits to the immediate left of V.

Which of the following pairs of persons does not sit adjacent to each other?

The correct answer is E, B.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Let us analyze the seating arrangement based on the given clues.

1. Arranging Row 2 (Facing North):
Let positions 1 to 5 from left to right represent the 5 seats in Row 2.
- A sits at the exact middle of Row 2: This places A at Position 3.
- E sits second to the left of B: Since Row 2 faces North, moving to the left means moving towards Position 1. With A already occupying Position 3, B must be at Position 4, placing E at Position 2 (second to the left of B).
- C sits to the immediate left of E: Position 1 is to the immediate left of Position 2 (E), so C is at Position 1.
- Remaining person D: D takes the remaining seat at Position 5.

Thus, the complete arrangement of Row 2 from left to right is: C - E - A - B - D.

2. Checking adjacency for each pair:
- C, E: C (Position 1) and E (Position 2) sit adjacent to each other.
- E, A: E (Position 2) and A (Position 3) sit adjacent to each other.
- A, B: A (Position 3) and B (Position 4) sit adjacent to each other.
- B, D: B (Position 4) and D (Position 5) sit adjacent to each other.
- E, B: E is at Position 2 and B is at Position 4, separated by A (Position 3). Therefore, E and B do not sit adjacent to each other.

Hence, the pair of persons that does not sit adjacent to each other is E, B.
