Answers
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation [1-5]- In this puzzle, we have to make 8 people sit in a row in which some face north and some face south. We have to fix Zalia first as her position is exactly defined (extreme end of the row), but we don’t know whether she sits at right extreme or left extreme.
So, two possibilities occur for Zalia's position.
Then we have to see whether any information connecting to Zalia is given or not. As it is given three people are sitting between Zalia and the actor, we can fix the actor 4th to Zalia (either right or left) and it is given that actor is facing north. So as actors position is fixed check any statement connecting to actor is given or not.
As it is stated that Zabeel is sitting second to the left of the actor his position is defined and he is facing south. Another link connecting to Zalia is given i.e. zaheera (teacher) is sitting third to the right of Zalia and so zaheera's position is fixed. Then coming to the next thread, some definite information is given (Zaro is a doctor and facing north, zarim is a painter, Zart is not a neighbor of Zalia).
Make a note of them beside your workspace so that you need not go back to them. Then make the arrangements using this definite information.
Finally, you will be able to get the arrangement satisfying all the conditions.
