Solutions:
Ans(1-5):
1-(d), 2:-(b), 3:-(a), 4:-(b), 5:-(d)
From (i), we will have two cases:
Case 1.
C will sit at place no. 1. G will sit at place no. 5.
From (ii), we will two subcases:
If B faces south and sits at place no. 4, then E will sit at place no.2.
This case will get discarded as there is no place left for A.
If B faces north and sits at place no. 6, then E will sit at place no.8.
A will sit at place no. 2 and faces north. D will sit at place no. 4.
From (i), H cannot sit at place no. 3 as he is not an immediate neighbour of the oldest person. So, H will sit at place no. 7.
Only person left for place no. 3 is F and faces north.
From (iii), F was born in May and sits fourth to the left of the one who was born in March. It means H born in the month of March.
This case will get discarded as F faces same direction as B.
Case 1.b.
Case 2.
C will sit at place no. 8. G will sit at place no. 4.
From (ii), we will two subcases:
If B faces south and sits at place no. 3, then E will sit at place no.1.
A will sit at place no. 7 and faces south. D will sit at place no. 5.
From (i), H cannot sit at place no. 3 as he is not an immediate neighbour of the oldest person. So, H will sit at place no. 2.
Only person left for place no. 6 is F and faces south.
This case will get discarded H faces north.
If B faces north and sits at place no. 5, then E will sit at place no.7.
A will sit at place no. 1 and faces north. D will sit at place no. 3.
From (i), H cannot sit at place no. 3 as he is not an immediate neighbour of the oldest person. So, H will sit at place no. 6.

Final arrangement as shown below:
Ans (6-10):
6:-(e), 7:-(c), 8:-(d), 9:-(d), 10:-(a) .
From (i), If X sits at place no. 1, then V will sit at place no. 5.
From (ii) and (iv), S sits at place no. 6 and faces the centre, then T will sit at place no. 2.
From (iii) and (v), U will sit at place no. 6. We need two consecutive places for Y and R. So, two places left for Y and R are 7 and 8. Y cannot sit at place no. 8 as he is not an immediate neighbour of X.
Only person left for place no. 3 is W.
From (ii),If U faces the centre, then the one who was born in the month of December sits at place no. 4 but it is not possible as the one who was born in the month of December is not an immediate neighbour of V. So, U faces outside the centre and the one who was born in the month of December sits at place no.8.
From (v), The one who was born in the month of March sits at place no. 2.
From (i), T and U are facing same direction.
From (iv), R faces the centre.
