    E One of the immediate neighbors of R, sits opposite to L, who sits second to the left P, who sits at the middle of the table. Q sits at the corner of the table. N and S are not immediate neighbors of each other. O sits opposite to Q. Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    From option(a), Only two persons sit between N and M when counted from the left of M. L is an immediate neighbor of N and faces towards the center. P sits second to the right of L. M sits second to the right of P. We can’t find who sits second to the right of N. From option (b): N is an immediate neighbor of L. Person, who sits to the immediate left of N, sits opposite to R. P and Q are immediate neighbors of each other. Q sits at one of the corners of the table. No proper information is given. From option (c): L sits second to the right of P, who sits in the middle of the table. N is an immediate neighbor of L. O sits second to the left of N. S is an immediate neighbor of O. R sits at one of the corners. From option (d): Only two persons sit between S and R when counted from the left of S, who is an immediate neighbor of O, who sits second to the left of N, who sits to the immediate right of P, who sits in the middle of the table. So, clearly R sits second to the right of N. From option (e): One of the immediate neighbors of R, sits opposite to L, who sits second to the left P, who sits at the middle of the table. Q sits at the corner of the table. N and S are not immediate neighbors of each other. O sits opposite to Q.
