Answers :

Directions (1-5) :

Two persons sit between J and E. J sits 3^rd to the left of M. Only four persons sit between M and D.

Here we get two possibilities.

The number of persons who sit between M and F is the same as the number of persons who sit between J and D.

Only three persons sit between B and F.

F sits to the right of B.

Here we get two possibilities in case (2).

Not more than five persons sit to the left of E.

Persons who sits immediate left of B is not known.

In case (1), person who is immediate left of B is known and more than five persons sit to the left of E in case (2a). So these cases are eliminated.

More than 12 persons but not an odd number of persons sit between D and K. Not more than 19 persons sit in the row.
