This problem involves deductive reasoning based on seating arrangements and facing directions around a table.
Identifying Key Information
- Four people: K, L, M, N.
- Arrangement: Around a rectangular table.
- Facing Directions: North, South, East, West.
Analyzing Clues and Deductions
- N's Direction: The clue states, "K is sitting opposite to N, who is facing towards the west." This directly tells us:
- N faces West.
- K's Direction: Since K is sitting opposite to N, and N faces West, K must face the opposite direction.
- K faces East.
- L's Direction: The problem explicitly states, "L is facing north."
- L faces North.
- M's Direction: There are four people (K, L, M, N) and four directions (North, South, East, West). We have determined the directions for K (East), L (North), and N (West). The only person left is M, and the only direction left is South.
- M faces South.
- Verification: The clue "L and N are not sitting opposite to each other" is consistent with our findings. N faces West and L faces North; they are adjacent, not opposite. The opposite pairs are (N facing West, K facing East) and (L facing North, M facing South).
Final Answer
Based on the step-by-step deduction, M is facing South.
