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....

Question is correct & answer is also perfect there is no doubt. But I don't understand "M is at one end of the line" why M is placed in that place ?

There may be more solution as ADBEF abd NPQOM is also right, but this arrangement will not give correct answer whatever has been asked in question.

Hi,

I think questions and answer are correct.

--\---\---\---\---\--- L <-----> R W ------ E.

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.

@Ram, Yes I think so.

In the question, they said 2 times clearly D is opposite to Q. But the answer is different. Can someone explain why?

To avoid confusion assume yourself as B sitting facing towards south then you will realize that B is left of D and E is right of D.

Everything is correct.

M is at left corner as O has to sit right to it. If we take it at right corner no one can sit right to it.
