Just n is diagnol to c is not enough. It would be necessary to know at which postion it is diagnol to n.
Diwakarlala said:   1 decade ago
If C is diagonal opposite to N

So it could be

D B A C E

P Q N M O

satisfying all the arrangement's but not the question.

Question may be wrong... because in 1st as per given....... "B who is just next to the left of D,.. but in solution b is taken as right position of D....
Umar lal said:   1 decade ago
In solution b is just next to the left of the Mr. Rahul because all men are facing to south.
Geetha said:   1 decade ago
In the second statement it was given that B is just next to the left of D but in the solution it was not like that.so question may be wrong.
Arvind said:   1 decade ago
@Geetha you are right.
Aryan said:   1 decade ago
Rahul and Geetha are right. Even I got confused with the question and answer.
Rahul said:   1 decade ago
@geetha, arvind and aaryan: No the answer is correct. Just imagine yourself facing south () like C, E, D, B, A clearly in this position B is just next to the left of D which is what have been said. Imagine yourself in the situation and your doubt will be clear.

Question is not clear, as it is not mentioned that whether the Men and Women are facing each other or back to each other, satisfying the parallel line sitting arrangement and direction of facing.

Answer is correct, why because there is difference bw just next to the left and just to the left.
