    Solution

    K and G are immediate neighbours of  each other on the same side of the table. As per this statement, there are two possible cases and the arrangement will look like this: Case-1  Case-2 H sits third to the left of K. As per this statement, the arrangement will look like this: Case-1 Case-2 J sits two places away from H. As per this statement, CASE I will further get spilt into one more case and the arrangement will look like this: Case-1 Case-1A E sits to the immediate right of J. As per this statement, the arrangement will look like this: Case-2 Only one person sits between G and F who is not an immediate neighbour of K. As per this statement, CASE II will get eliminated and we will continue with CASE I and CASE I (A) and the arrangement will look like this: Case-1 Case-1A L sits fourth to the right of I who is not an immediate neighbor of H. As per this statement, CASE I will get eliminated and we will continue with CASE I (A) and the final arrangement will look like this: Case-1A
