Answer 1

Answer:

C. Both D and H

Solution:

Given:

8 People: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H.

Facing directions: 4 people are facing inside and the other 4 are facing outside.

1) D is not facing the inside.

2) G is sitting fifth to the right of D.

3) A is sitting just opposite to G.

4) E is sitting third to the right of A.

5) B is sitting second to the left of E.

6) Neither A nor D is an immediate neighbour of C.

7) F is not sitting just opposite to C.

So, final arrangement will be as follows:

Hence, D and H are not sitting between C and E, when counted from the left of E.
