    Question

    Read the following information carefully and answer the questions that follow.    Eight girls M, N, O, P, Q, R, S and T are standing in two concentric circles in such a manner that each member of the inner circle stands exactly opposite to the members of the outer circle. The members standing in the outer circles are Q, R, S and M and all of them are facing towards the centre while the members of the inner circle are T, N, O, P and they are facing away from the centre. Each of them likes a different Actor viz. E, F, G, H, I, J , K, L but not necessarily in the same order. The girls who like J and L are immediate neighbours and one of them faces N, who likes F. T who likes H faces the immediate neighbour of the girl who likes G. S stands second to the left of M. P likes neither F nor I and faces S, who likes neither J nor L. The girl who likes K faces the girl who likes E.  The girls who like I and E are in separate circles. The girl who likes J stands on the immediate left of M. R who does not like G does not face T. The girls who like K and H stand in the same circle but they are not immediate neighbours of each other.      

    R likes which of the following actor?

    A F Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    B G Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    C L Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    D H Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
    E J Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

    Solution

    S stands second to the left of M. The girl who likes J stands on the immediate left of M. P likes neither F nor I and faces S, who likes neither J nor L. The girls who like J and L are immediate neighbours and one of them faces N, who likes F. Here we get 3 following cases:   Case 1:- The girls who like K and H stand in the same circle but they are not immediate neighbours of each other. While P does not like I. so this case is not possible. Case 2:-  The girl who likes K faces the girl who likes E. T who likes H faces the immediate neighbour of the girl who likes G. So this case is also not possible. Case 3:- The girl who likes K faces the girl who likes E. T who likes H faces the immediate neighbour of the girl who likes G. R who does not like G does not face T. This is the final arrangement.
