    Answer the questions based on the information given below. Eight sports person viz. A, B, C, D, E, G, F and H are directed towards four different directions viz. North, South, East and West for race competition in a horizontal line. All of them are equidistant from each other and no two adjacent persons face the same direction. Atleast two persons face the same direction. D stands at one of the extreme ends and the rest of them are standing behind him. Only three persons stand between D and H who face the same direction as D. A stands second to the left of E where both face the opposite directions. Neither A nor E is an immediate neighbor of D and stands at any of the extreme ends. B faces E and is fifth to the right of C who is not an immediate neighbor of D. Both F and B face the same direction. The immediate neighbor of D doesn’t face north.

    If the distance between C and D is 63m and all of them run for 10m on their respective directions, then what is the distance between H and B?

    A 9m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B 1m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C 2m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D 4m Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E Cannot be determined Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
