Ten persons are sitting in two parallel rows containing five persons each, such that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. Line 1: Five men (A-E) are seated and all of them are facing South. Line 2: Five women (M-Q) are seated and all of them are facing North. Based on the arrangement, answer the question: D is opposite to M. M is at one of the extreme ends of Line 2. O is at the center position of Line 2. Who is second to the right of M in Line 2 (facing North)?
O
Line 2 (facing North) has 5 positions. Since M is at an extreme end, M is either at position 1 or position 5. O is at the centre, i.e. position 3.
Since the women face North, the right side of any woman is the side where positions go in increasing order from M's end (so that 'second to the right of M' lies inside the row, not outside it).
If M is at position 1, then second to the right of M is position 3, which is O.
If M were at position 5, second to the right would fall outside the row, which is impossible. So M is at position 1.
Hence, second to the right of M is O.
