    Eight persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing four people each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons.

    In row-1 M, N, O and P are seated and all of them are facing South.
    In row -2 E, F, G and H are seated 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.
    i) E sits third to the right of G and faces M
    ii) P and N are neighbours
    iii) O doesn't face G
    iv) F sits to the immediate right of G and faces P


    Who sits to the immediate left of P?


    A.

    M

    B.

    O

    C.

    The one facing F

    D.

    The one facing G

    Correct option is B

    Given:

    • Row-1: M, N, O, P (facing South)
    • Row-2: E, F, G, H (facing North)

    Step 1: From statement (i)

    E sits third to the right of G

    Since Row-2 faces North, right means normal right.

    So possible arrangement:

    G at position 1 and E at position 4

    1

    2

    3

    4

    G

    ?

    ?

    E

    Also, E faces M, so M is at Row-1 position 4.

    Step 2: From statement (iv)

    F sits immediate right of G

    So, F is at position 2.

    4

    G

    F

    ?

    E

    Also, F faces P, so P is at Row-1 position 2.

    Step 3: From statement (ii)

    P and N are neighbours

    P is at position 2, so N must be at position 1 or 3.

    Step 4: From statement (iii)

    O doesn't face G

    G is at position 1, so O cannot be at Row-1 position 1.

    Thus:

    • Position 1 = N
    • Position 3 = O

    Now Row-1:

    1

    2

    3

    4

    N

    P

    O

    M

    Remaining Row-2 position 3 = H

    Final Row-2:

    1

    2

    3

    4

    G

    F

    H

    E

    P is in Row-1 and faces

    South, so left side is opposite to our view.

    P is at position 2.
    Immediate left of P = position 3 = O

    Correct Answer: B) O
