Seven people – Sanchit, Ankit, Nikhil, Ruchita, Vaibhav, Ajit and Soniya – are sitting in a straight line with equal distance between each other, but not necessarily in the same order. Some of them are facing north and some are facing south.
Only two people are sitting to the left of Ajit. Only two people sit between Ajit and Nikhil and none of the two sit at extreme ends. Sanchit sits second to the left of Nikhil. The immediate neighbours of Sanchit face opposite directions (i.e. if one of the neighbors faces south then the other faces north and vice versa). Only one person sits between Sanchit and Ruchita. Vaibhav sits third to the left of Ruchita. Soniya is not an immediate neighbor of Nikhil. Both the immediate neighbours of Ruchita face the same direction (i.e. if one neighbor faces south then the other neighbour also faces south and if one neighbor faces north then the other neighbor also faces north). Sanchit faces the same direction as Ruchita. Ankit faces north. Nikhil sits on the immediate left of Ankit.

5. Who among the following sits second to the right of Soniya?
    A. Vaibhav B. Ajit C. Nikhil D. Other than those given as options E. Sanchit

Answers and Explanations
1. Answer - Option A
Explanation [1-5]-
1) Only two people sit between AJIT and NIKHIL and none of the two sit at extreme ends. Only two people are sitting to the left AJIT.
There can be two possibilities:
A)
Ajit Nikhil

B)
Nikhil Ajit

2) Only two people are sitting to the left AJIT.
IN case A) ajit must face north then only there will be 2 people to his left.
But case B) is not valid as it is given that: Only two people are sitting to the left of AJIT.
As in case 2 if ajit faces north then there are 5 people to his left and if ajit faces south then is only one person to his left.thus case 2 gets eliminated.
Thus it is clear that ajit faces north.
Ajit [latex]\downarrow[/latex] Nikhil

Ajit [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Nikhil

3) ANKIT faces north. NIKHIL sits on the immediate left of ANKIT ⇒ ankit sits at extreme right side.
Ajit [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Nikhil Ankit [latex]\uparrow[/latex]

4) SANCHIT sits second to the left of NIKHIL.
    a) If Nikhil faces south then there will be only 1 person to his left thus Nikhil faces north.
    b) Only one person sits between SANCHIT and RUCHITA.
    c) The immediate neighbours of SANCHIT face opposite directions (i.e. if one of the neighbors faces south then the other faces north and vice versa) ⇒the person to the left of Nikhil faces south.

Ruchita Ajit [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Sanchit [latex]\downarrow[/latex] Nikhil [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Ankit [latex]\uparrow[/latex]

5)
    i. SONIYA is not an immediate neighbor of NIKHIL⇒vaibhav sits to the left of Nikhil and soniya at the other extreme end.
    ii. VAIBHAV sits third to the left of RUCHITA ⇒ ruchita faces south.
    iii. Both the immediate neighbours of RUCHITA face the same direction (i.e. if one neighbor faces south then the other neighbour also faces south and if one neighbor faces north then the other neighbor also faces north) ⇒soniya faces north.
    iv. SANCHIT faces the same direction as RUCHITA ⇒ sanchit faces south.

Soniya [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Ruchita [latex]\downarrow[/latex] Ajit [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Sanchit[latex]\downarrow[/latex] Vaibhav [latex]\downarrow[/latex] Nikhil [latex]\uparrow[/latex] Ankit [latex]\uparrow[/latex]
