Hi, It is confusing between b and d sitting it's also a correct statement because b and d are facing toward the south. For eg a person changing the direction toward north then to the south, its also change the position of the hand, the left hand become right and right hand become left.

M O Q P N (facing towards south).
C E B D A (Facing towards north).

This should be the arrangement.

"E is opposite to O who is just next right of M. ".

What is the difference between just right and just next right?

I think as per the given information there should be one alphabate between M &O. Am I right?

Diagonal to each other means, connect all the points, then it would make a square figure, and the diagonal would be the end letters of the figure. For example, consider a square and name it as ABCD, then A is a diagonal to D and B is diagonal to C.
