Directions (1-5) :

We have,

D sits third to the left of I.
One person sits between D and J.
The one who sits second to the right of J is facing H who is facing outside the centre.

From the above condition, there are two possibilities.

Again we have,

K neither sits adjacent to I nor J but sits at the outer table.
The one who sits immediate right of K faces C.

From the above condition, there are three possibilities.

Again we have,

The number of persons seated between K and I is the same as between K and A.

From the above condition, case1 gets eliminated.

Again we have,

F sits third to the right of the one who sits adjacent to K.
The one who faces L sits second to the right of G.
The number of persons seated between G and B is the same as between B and the one who faces E.
B sits at the outer table and neither sits adjacent to K nor J.

From the above condition, case1a gets eliminated. case2 shows the final arrangement.

1) Answer: D

2) Answer: C

3) Answer: C

4) Answer: D

5) Answer: C

Directions (6-10) :

We have:

A person facing T sits second to the right of E.

That means, in case (1) T sits at the edge, in case (2) T sits at the corner.

Two persons are sitting between T and a person sitting to the immediate left of Q.

That means, T sits second to the right of Q.

Based on the above given information we have:

Again, we have:

One person sits between G and H, neither of them sitting adjacent to E.
A person facing G sits immediate right of R.

That means, in case (1) & case (2a) R sits immediate left of T, in case (2b) R sits immediate left of Q.

Based on the above given information we have:

Again, we have:

The number of persons sitting between B and D is the same as the number of persons sitting between P and Z, who sit at the middle of the side.
D doesn’t sit adjacent to E.
C doesn’t sit adjacent to G.
A person sitting adjacent to B sits facing S.

That means, in case (1) B sits immediate left of G, case (2a) & case (2b) are not valid.

Based on the above given information we have the final arrangement as follows:
