There is another possible case which satisfies all the conditions but not the answers:
A E C D B.
M O N P Q.
Does the diagonal ends mean C and N must have to be at the ends?
A E C D B.
M O N P Q.
Does the diagonal ends mean C and N must have to be at the ends?

The answer assumes the direction as below:
N
W E
S
But without specific information, following directions are also possible:
S
E W
N
E
N S
W
W
S N
E
Since the question does not state that the men and women are facing each other, any other solutions based on the above direction logic also would be correct.

Since the question does not state that the men and women are facing each other, any other solutions based on the above direction logic also would be correct.

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.

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 ?

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

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.
