Direction : Study the following information to answer the given questions.
Eight people are sitting in two parallel rows containing four people each, in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. In row 1 A, B, C and D are seated (but not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing south. In row 2 P, Q, R and S are seated (but not necessarily in the same order) and all of them are facing north. Therefore, in the given seating arrangement each member seated in a row faces another member of the other row. R sits second to the left of the person who faces A. S is an immediate neighbour of R. Only one person sits between A and D. One of the immediate neighbours of C faces Q. B does not sit at any of the extreme ends of the line.

Cannot be determined
Incorrect AnswerExplanation:
- Let's analyze the seating arrangement step-by-step:
- A, B, C, and D sit in Row 1 facing south. P, Q, R, and S sit in Row 2 facing north.
- R sits second to the left of the person facing A. This suggests that A is neither at an extreme end nor in a central position.
- S is an immediate neighbor of R. This places R and S adjacent to each other.
- There is one person between A and D. This provides further constraints for their placement.
- One neighbor of C faces Q. This helps fix the possible positions of C and Q.
- B is not at an extreme end, which can further limit the options for B's position.
- Given these conditions, we deduce that D faces R. Thus:
- Option 4: D is the correct answer.
