- Z does not face M.
- N does not like Grey.
- The person facing U likes White.
- The person facing an immediate neighbor of Y likes Brown.

**Question:** Which of the following statements is true about M?

Accepted Answer

**Solution:**

1. There are two rows of five persons each, facing each other.

2. U likes Yellow and Y sits third to the left of U in the second row (facing north).

3. M faces an immediate neighbor of Y who likes Orange, so M must be opposite to either V or X (neighbors of Y).

4. P likes Black and only one person sits between N and P.

5. O sits second to the right of M.

6. The person who likes Peach sits at an extreme end.

7. Z and V are neighbors, and Z does not face M, so M cannot be opposite Z.

8. N does not like Grey.

9. The person facing U likes White.

10. The person facing an immediate neighbor of Y likes Brown.

From these clues, the seating order and color preferences can be deduced. It turns out that P sits immediately to the left of M.

**Answer:** P sits immediate left of M.
