The correct answer is
I

This is a logical reasoning question involving seating arrangements. We need to determine the seating order for seven people: G, H, I, J, K, L, and M, based on the given conditions. The goal is to identify who sits at the extreme left end.

  1. Draw a straight line with seven positions, as all individuals face North. Let's denote the line as:
Position 1Position 2Position 3Position 4Position 5Position 6Position 7
  1. Start by placing K on the line. According to the statement, "H is sitting fourth to the left of K." Therefore, if K is at Position 5, H would be at Position 1:
H   K  
  1. Next, consider "J is to the immediate right of I." This means if I is at a certain position, J will be directly to the right:
HIJ K  
  1. Now, "Only one person sits between M and G." Since H is at Position 1, we consider M and G could be at Positions 3 and 5, respectively:
HIJMKGL
  1. The last condition is that "I is not an immediate neighbor of H." Therefore, adjust the placements:
IJLHMGK

From the updated arrangement, \(I\) sits at the extreme left end. This concludes that the correct answer is I.
