Directions:Study the following information carefully and answer the qu...

Given,There are 12 persons: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K and L. They are standing in a straight line from left to right end. Half of them are facing north and half of them are facing south direction. Extreme left end is numbered 1 and extreme right end is numbered 12.
A, B, F, E, K and L are standing even numbered positions but not necessarily in the same order.
1) H, who is facing north, has only one person behind him, who is facing south.
2) B has only one person standing ahead of him.
3) B and the person standing ahead of him are facing opposite direction.
So 1^st position’s person is facing north.

4) The number of persons standing ahead of L is the same as the number of persons standing behind of G.
5) L is standing ahead of G and both face the same direction.
So L can be stand at 4^th or 6^th position.
Case I: When L is at 4^th position and G at 9^th position.

Case II: When L is at 6^th position and G at 7^th position.

5) I is standing ahead of L.
6) F is just behind J and I is just ahead of A.
7) I and J are facing north and F and A are facing south.
Since I is standing ahead of L and just ahead of A, thus case I gets eliminated.
Case II:

8) C is not facing south, but immediate neighbours of C are facing south.

L and G are facing same direction. Since, C is also facing north L and G cannot face north.
9) K and D are facing north.
Since K is facing north and is at even position, he must be at 8^th position.
D is at 1^st position and E on 12^th position.

Thus D and E stand at extreme ends.

Understanding the Arrangement
To solve the problem, we need to analyze the given clues and determine the positions of the 12 persons standing in a straight line.
Key Information from Clues
- Even Numbered Positions: A, B, F, E, K, and L are in positions 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12.
- Opposite Directions: Persons at the extreme ends (positions 1 and 12) are facing opposite directions.
- C's Orientation: C is not facing south; neighbors of C are facing south.
- Position Relationship: L stands ahead of G, and the number of persons ahead of L equals the number behind G.
- H's Position: H faces north and has one person behind who faces south.
- B's Position: B has one person ahead facing the opposite direction.
- Position of I and J: I is ahead of A; I and J face north, while F and A face south.
- K and D: Both are facing north.
Building the Lineup
1. Identify Ends: Since the extreme ends face opposite directions, if position 1 faces south, position 12 faces north.
2. Placing H: H, facing north, can only be in position 11 because he has one person (who faces south) behind him.
3. Position of A, F, J, I: Placing F (south) behind J (north) leads to filling in positions 10 and 9.
4. Position of L and G: Given the clues, we deduce L must be in position 6, with G in position 7.
5. Final Arrangement: Following all clues logically, we can establish the remaining positions for the other individuals.
Conclusion
After analyzing all the clues and arranging the positions, we find:
- Extreme Ends: Position 1 (D - south) and Position 12 (E - north).
Thus, the answer is C) D and E.
