1) Z sits at one of the extreme end and faces the person who is an immediate neighbour of M.

2) E sits to the left of Z that means Z sits to the extreme right end of row 2.

3) Only two person sits between B and I.

Task Id 1138 Daman (4)

4) M is the only neighbour of K, who sits diagonally opposite to X  that means K sits immediate left of M which is the left end of row 1 so X sits on left end of row 2. So, case – 3 is eliminated.

5) I sits to the right of B.

6) Y sits to the right of B.                                                         

7) As many person sits between R and O as many between Y and M.

Task Id 1138 Daman (5)

8) E sits second to the right of the person who faces who faces I.

9) The person who sits opposite to O is immediate neighbour of both H and A.

10) As many person sits between X and H as many between H and Z.

11) U doesn’t faces O. In case 1 if we place O to immediate left of I we cannot place H and A as immediate neighbour of the person who is opposite to O. In case 2 we cannot place O at both places because E sits second to the right of the person who faces I which contradicts with the condition of O. So, case2 is eliminated.

Hence, the final arrangement is as follows

Task Id 1138 Daman (6)

Hence, correct answer is option 3.
