Explanation:

From Statement I:

Either Neha or Abhay is sitting at one of the ends. Abhay is third to the left of Neha. Deepak is fourth to the left of Poorvi. The possible scenarios can be

I. Deepak _ Abhay _ Poorvi Neha

II. Abhay Deepak _ Neha _ Poorvi

So, we can’t find who are sitting at the extreme ends.

From Statement II:

Abhay _ Poorvi or Poorvi _ Abhay and neither of them is sitting at the ends. The possible scenarios can be

I. Manik Abhay _ Poorvi Neha

II. Poorvi Neha _ Abhay Manik

So, we can’t find who are at the extreme ends. From Statements I and II

The only possible scenario is Deepak Manik Abhay Hitesh Poorvi Neha. Thus, Deepak and Neha are sitting at the extreme ends.
