Two persons sit between M and the vacant seat, which is at one of the sides of the square.

L, who sits at the immediate left of P is an immediate neighbor of the vacant seat.

Since L cannot be placed, Case 1a, Case 1b gets cancelled.

2) Answer: D

3) Answer: C

4) Answer: A

5) Answer: D

Directions (6-8):

6) Answer: A

I) E ≤ C (C = D ≥ E) -> True

II) A < C (A ≤ B > C) -> False

So, only conclusion I follow.

7) Answer: C

I) J < L (J = K ≤ L)

II) L = J (J = K ≤ L)

So, either conclusion I or II follows.

8) Answer: E

I) P ≥ R (P ≥ Q = R) -> True

II) M < P (M = N < O ≤ P) -> True

So, both conclusion I and II follow.

9) Answer: D
