Sunil is 15th from top. From bottom = 30 - 15 + 1 = 16th.

Correct Answer: A - E

The second row is F, D, E facing A, B, C respectively. Therefore, C faces E.

Correct Answer: C - E

A is 2nd from left. F is at an end — since A is at position 2, F is at position 1 (left end) or position 6 (right end). If F is at position 1: F, A, _, _, _, _. C is not adjacent to A, so C ≠ position 3. B is to right of D, so D-B are consecutive. Possible: F,A,D,B,_,_ with C and E filling 5,6. C not adjacent to A(pos2) so C at 5 or 6 works. If C at position 5, E at 6: F,A,D,B,C,E. E is at the right end.

Correct Answer: D - S

The question directly states that S is 3rd to the right of Q. Therefore, the correct answer is S.

Correct Answer: D - Kapil

Order: Kapil < Sohan < Ravi < Mohan < Rohan. Kapil is the shortest.

Correct Answer: A - E

Row 1 (facing south): _, A, B (B is to right of A). Row 2 (facing north): D, _, _. A is opposite D. The remaining positions: Row 1 position 1 is C or E or F. F is opposite C, so one in Row 1 and one in Row 2. If C is in Row 1 pos 1, F must be opposite in Row 2 pos 1. But D is already in Row 2 opposite A (pos 2). So Row 2: F, D, _. The remaining person E goes to Row 2 pos 3, opposite B. B is opposite E.

Correct Answer: D - G

The arrangement states that G is at the left end, so G is the person at the left end.

Correct Answer: B - W

X faces center at one side. W is to X's left. Y is opposite X. Z takes the remaining side. Going clockwise: X, W (X's left is clockwise when facing center), then Z or Y. Y is opposite X. If clockwise: X, W, Y, Z. Then to Y's right (which is the person counterclockwise from Y when Y faces center) = W.

Correct Answer: D - H

10 seats. F at position 1. A is 3rd to right of F → position 4. C opposite A(4) → position 9 (4+5=9). E adjacent to F(1) and C(9): must be at position 10 (adjacent to both 1 and 9 in circular arrangement... positions adjacent to F(1): 2 and 10. Adjacent to C(9): 8 and 10. Common: position 10. So E=10. Opposite of F(1) = position 6. Remaining people B,D,G,H,I,J fill positions 2,3,5,6,7,8. Opposite F = position 6. From options, H is at position 6.

Correct Answer: A - 1st

T at extreme left. S between T and Q: T, S, Q, ... P right of Q but left of R: ...Q, P, R. Combined: T, S, Q, P, R. R is at the extreme right = 1st from right.

Correct Answer: A - E

When two rows face each other, the person at left-end of Row 1 faces the person at right-end of Row 2 (they mirror). Row 1 L→R: A, B, C. Row 2 L→R: D, E, F. Facing: A↔F, B↔E, C↔D. But it says A faces F, which confirms the mirror arrangement. B faces E.

Correct Answer: D - 33
