Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option B
Explanation [1-5]-
  • Esha faces south.

  • Only three people sit to the left of Esha.

  • Only two people sit between Esha and Bablu. (If we faces north then bablu is 2nd from the left end and Esha is 5th from left end)

  • Harish is an immediate neighbour of neither Esha nor Bablu. (Harish should be first or second from right end if we faces north)

  • Harish does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line.

  • Falak sits third to the right of Harish. (So, position of harish should be second from right end if we face north and also Harish faces south then only Falak position should be third to the right of Harish. So, Falak sits to the immediate right of Esha)

  • Dheeru is not an immediate neighbour of Harish.

  • Both the immediate neighbours of Dheeru face north.

  • Only one person sits between Dheeru and Anu. (Anu sits to the extreme left end if we faces north)

  • Anu faces the same direction as Harish. (Anu faces South)

  • The immediate neighbour of Bablu face opposite directions. (So, Dheeru faces North)

  • Persons sitting at extreme ends face opposite directions.

  • Chetan faces a direction opposite that of Dheeru.( Chetan faces South and sits to the left of Esha)

  • So, according to above statement, we conclude:

  • Two persons are seated between Anu and Falak
