The instruction (2) says "B who is just next to the left of D" - But according to the initial arrangement shown in figure, he is sitting at the right of D?

Q is second person right of B. But in question second person left of B asked. I think this question is not correct. Or anyone provide proper explanation for this.

b is facing downwards which means that his "left" is actually your "right"(since we are working from the 'mopen').

Similarly second person "left" to b is second to "right".

C Q D B A.
M O P E N.

This answer is incorrect. It will be right instead of left in the statement. Please correct it.

In the last condition, question says Q shifts to the place of B so answer will be B but this answer didn't follow the third condition.
