• Immediate neighbours of N face opposite directions of each other. M sits third to the right of K, who is not an immediate neighbour of O.
• So, Case-1(b) and Case-2(a) will be dropped.

• The persons sitting at the extreme ends facing the same direction. P faces the same direction as N. The immediate neighbours of P face the opposite directions.
