Directions: Five persons are sitting in a row facing south. Five persons are sitting in another row facing north and thus exactly facing the persons in the other row. Eight of them are wearing either of the three colours: white, pink and red while two persons are wearing a dress that has two of these colours. The one sitting third to the right of K is wearing white and red. The one facing K is wearing both the colours of his immediate neighbours. Neither A nor K are at the corner. Both the persons sitting to the left of E are wearing white. F is sitting second to the right of A. Neither F nor A is wearing only white. F and K are facing opposite directions. Y is not a neighbour of F. Y is wearing pink and facing south. H is sitting to the immediate left of B. M is sitting to the immediate left of the one who is facing C. C is not wearing white. N is at the corner but not wearing pink. The one sitting second from N is wearing red. Both the persons wearing only red are facing persons wearing pink. Only one person is wearing both white and red and nobody is wearing both pink and white.

Answer

Solution:

  1. Since neither A nor K are at the corner, and F is sitting second to the right of A, A cannot be at the corner. Therefore, A is in the middle of the row facing south.
  2. F and K are facing opposite directions, so if A is facing south, F must be facing north. Since F is second to the right of A, F is two seats to the left of A in the north-facing row.
  3. Y is wearing pink and facing south, and is not a neighbour of F. Therefore, Y must be at the corner of the south-facing row.
  4. H is sitting to the immediate left of B, so H and B are in the north-facing row. M is sitting to the immediate left of the one who is facing C, so M and C are in the south-facing row.
  5. Since N is at the corner but not wearing pink, N must be in the north-facing row at the corner opposite Y.
  6. The one sitting second from N is wearing red, so the person next to N in the north-facing row is wearing red.
  7. Both the persons wearing only red are facing persons wearing pink. Since Y is wearing pink, the person facing Y must be wearing red.
  8. Only one person is wearing both white and red, and this person is sitting third to the right of K. Therefore, this person is in the south-facing row.
  9. The one facing K is wearing both the colours of his immediate neighbours, so the person facing K must be wearing a combination of the colours worn by the people on either side of him.
  10. Since neither F nor A is wearing only white, and both persons to the left of E are wearing white, E must be in the north-facing row.
  11. By process of elimination and logical deduction, the arrangement can be determined as follows:

North-facing row: N (not pink), E (white), F (not only white), H, B

South-facing row: Y (pink), M, C (not white), A, K
