Directions (1-5) :
We have,
- Heena sits third to the left of Kajal and neither of them sits at the end of the row.
- Janu neither sits adjacent to Heena nor Kajal.
From the above condition, there are two possibilities.
Again we have,
- Leena has ten shoes and sits second to the right of Heena
Again we have,
- Ganga sits at the end of row
- Krish sits second to the left of the one who has 12 shoes.
- Jeevi neither has 12 shoes nor 14 shoes.
Again we have,
- Ganga sits at the end of the row and has a maximum number of shoes which is divisible by three.
- The number of shoes with Heena is one less than one-third of the number of shoes of Ganga.
- Ganga has twice the number of shoes of Jeevi.
From the above condition, Ganga has more than 10 shoes and less than 20 shoes. Only 12, 15, and 18 is divisibly by 3.
Ganga/2=Jeevi –>12/2=6, 18/2=9 From this condition, 15 get eliminated.
Ganga has two possibilities either 12 or 18. Already Kajal has 12 shoes so Ganga has 18 shoes.
Heena=(1/3)*18-1–>5
Again we have,
- The difference between the number of shoes of Jeevi and Kajal is equal to Janu.
- The one who has 14 shoes does not sit fourth from either the left end or right end.
From the above condition, case2 gets eliminated. case1 shows the final arrangement.

Directions (6-10) :

3) The one who is from 7th stands second to the left of the one who is from 11th. K is from 6th but doesn’t stand adjacent to P. More than four persons stand between K and O. Hence, case 1 gets eliminated.

Answers :
Directions (11-15) :
We have,
- R6 is sitting at one of the extreme ends. Persons sitting at extreme ends face opposite direction and no person is sitting left of R6.
- Two persons are sitting between R6 and R2.
- Adjacent neighbors of R2 are facing south direction.
Again we have,
- The one who is second to the right of R4 is facing north and having 20 pens, but it is not R6.
- R3 and R1 are facing in opposite direction and R1 is not adjacent to R6 and R5.
- R1 does not sit adjacent to R3.
Case-II (b) gets eliminated because R3 and R1 should face in opposite direction.
Again we have,
- Difference between the number of pens with R6 and R5 is 4, which is equal to the difference between the number of pens with R2 and R4. R6 has lesser pens than R5.
- R1 does not have even number of pens.
- The one who is immediate right of R2 is not having 21 pens.
R2-R4= R5-R6=4
So, R4= 16 and R5 = 19, R6 =15;
Case-II (a) gets eliminated because the one who has 21 pens cannot sit immediate right of R2.
