Read the information carefully and answer the questions given below:
Fourteen persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing seven persons each. In row 1 - A, B, C, D, E, F and G are seated and all of them are facing north. While P, Q, R, S, T, U and V are sitting in row-2 and facing south direction but not necessarily in the same order. Persons of row 1 face the persons of row 2. Q sits two places away from the one who faces E. E is the only immediate neighbour of D. U faces the one who sits third to the right of C. The number of persons sit to the right of Q is same as the number of persons sit to the left of G. B sits second to the left of G. One person sits between R and V and both of them do not sit at the extreme ends. S sits right of T but not sit at the extreme ends. A faces the one who sits second to the right of R.

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Concept
In a two-row facing arrangement, each person in Row 1 (facing North) sits directly opposite, and faces, exactly one person in Row 2 (facing South). Because the two rows face opposite directions, their left/right are mirror images of each other: a North-facer's right is a South-facer's left. The standard method is to first fix the row with the strongest positional clues (here Row 1, anchored by the D-E end pair and the B-G gap), then place Row 2 using the facing links and the within-row distance clues.
Application
E is the only immediate neighbour of D, so D sits at an extreme end with E next to it.
B sits second to the left of G; placed against the D-E end pair, this gives a B__G block sitting to one side of the end pair. Working this block together with the facing links below resolves Row 1 to the order A, B, C, G, F, E, D.
'Persons to the right of Q = persons to the left of G': G has three persons to its left, so Q likewise has three persons to its right, placing Q as the fourth seat counting from the corresponding end of Row 2.
U faces the person third to the right of C (in Row 1), and A faces the person second to the right of R (in Row 2); these facing links lock R, U and A's opposite.
'One person between R and V (neither at an end)' and 'S sits to the right of T, S not at an end' resolve the remaining Row 2 seats, giving Row 2 as P, S, R, Q, V, U, T.
Final arrangement (facing pairs are same-column)
Position | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Row 1 (North) | A | B | C | G | F | E | D |
Row 2 (South) | P | S | R | Q | V | U | T |
Cross-check / Result
F sits opposite V, so the person who faces F is V. Counting two seats to the right of V within Row 2 lands on R. Note that because the two rows are mirror-oriented, working the same step under the opposite right/left convention still arrives at R, so the answer is direction-independent: R.
