Four boys A, B, C, D and 4 girls M, N, O, P are sitting around a round table facing each other. i. No 2 boys and girls are sitting together. ii. M is sitting to the right of B. iii. O is facing N and is sitting to the left of A. iv. C is sitting to the right of P. Which two persons are sitting adjacent to D, to the left and right respectively? Correct Answer M and O

According to given information :

1. M is sitting to the right of B.

Fixing a position for B,

2. No 2 boys and girls are sitting together.

3. O is facing N and is sitting to the left of A.

O cannot occupy the place in left of M.

O can sit beside B as A should be to the right of B.

O cannot sit opposite to M as it is given that opposite to O is N.

Only one possibility is there :

4. C is sitting to the right of P.

Means P should sit in such a way that the right position remains vacant for C.

The remaining place will be occupied by D.

So, the final arrangement will be :

Persons to the left and right of D respectively are M and O.

Hence, the correct answer is "M and O".
