How can we determine the gender here? Both J, L could be female, but either of them could be.

They didn't mentioned the gender.

How can we decided while considering there left side or right side as it is not mentioned whether they are facing inward or outward direction? Please explain me.

Hi everyone,

As you can read in statement 2- There are 3 ladies, who are not seated next to each other.

So overall there are only 3 females. Which are E, G, H.

Rest all are male.

So J and K both are males.

Also as all of them are sitting on the table, it is not possible to face outward, for obvious reasons they should face each other that is they are facing inward.

If we take reference from the next qs where they asked the name of the female members, then we can determine who are the female and who are the male. ! but there is nothing mentioned in the question. So I was little confused as well.
