Answers:
Direction (1-5)
B is 22 years old and A is 2nd to the right of B. So B is facing north direction. Two persons are sitting between A and C.
Case 1:
| C | B (north) | A | |
| 22 |
Case 2:
| B(north) | A | C | |||
| 22 |
H is 2nd to the left of D. H is neighbor of B. D is 15 years old. So D is facing south.
In case 1:
| C | B (north) | H | A | D (south) |
| 22 | 15 |
But from this H is 2nd to the right of D so case 1 gets rejected.
In case 2:
We get two cases, H is either immediate left or right of B.
Case 2A:
If H is immediate left of B-
| D(south) | H | B(north) | A | C | ||||
| 15 | 22 |
But from this total persons will be 9 so that case also gets rejected.
Case 2B:
If H is immediate right of B-
| D(south) | B(north) | H | A | C | ||
| 15 | 22 |
Now either D or C is at the end.
IF D is at the end:
| D(south) | B(north) | H | A | C | |||
| 15 | 22 |
H is facing south direction. More than two persons are sitting between E and G in this case that not possible so this case gets rejected.
IF C is at the end:
| D(south) | B(north) | H(south) | A | C | |||
| 15 | 22 |
More than two persons are sitting between E and G. More than one person is sitting between B and E. So G must be immediate right of D.
| G | D(south) | B(north) | H(south) | A | C | ||
| 15 | 22 |
The one who is 26 years old is 2nd to the right of F. As H is facing south so H’s age must be multiple of 5 so A must be 26 years old and F is neighbor of C. Then E is exactly between A and F. E is 8 years elder to A so E is (26+8) = 34 years old and facing north.
The one who is 46 years old is 2nd to the right of the one who is 34 years old. So C is 46 years old and facing north. F is 9 years elder to C so F is 55 years old and facing south.
G is 10 years younger to F so G is 45 years old and facing south.
H is elder to B but younger to A as H is facing south so H’s age must be multiple of 5 and between 22 to 26 so H is 25 years old.
Here is the final arrangement:
| G(south) | D(south) | B(north) | H(south) | A(north) | E(north) | F(south) | C(north) |
| 45 | 15 | 22 | 25 | 26 | 34 | 55 | 46 |
