Seating Arrangement
CASE 1:
B and his father facing towards the center
CASE 2:
B and his father facing away from the center
Family Tree
B’s Father (+)
B (+)
From 2, F sits to the immediate right of her husband and to the immediate right of her brother in law H. F and her husband face in the same direction.
OR
Family Tree
F (-) X F’s husband (+) From 4, A sits between his parents such that he is to the immediate left of both, his mother as well as his father.
This means A’s mother and father face opposite directions and are immediate neighbours of A.
Family Tree
A’s mother (-) X A’s Father (+) A (+) From 5, Both the daughters of D face in the same direction as D while D faces in the direction opposite to that of her husband.
This means D is a female having 2 daughters
Family Tree
D (-) X D’s husband (+) (-) = (-) Since there are no unmarried females in the family, both the daughters of D are married
Family Tree D (-) X D’s husband (+) (+) X (-) = (-) X (+)
Six members of the family are roughly known. 2 more remaining. We know G is a male and has a son and a daughter. Suppose G is one of the son in laws of D.
Then G will have a son and a daughter.
But no female should be unmarried. Thus G’s daughter must have a husband thus the number of family member exceeds 8, hence G is not the son in law of D.
Similarly, G cannot be son of D. (Because G has son and daughter and if G becomes the son of D, D must have a wife, son, daughter and son in law, thus exceeding the number of family members over 8).
Thus G is the husband of D.
D (-) X G (+) (+) X (-) = (-) X (+) G has one only son D (-) X G (+) (+) = (+) X (-) = (-) X (+)
Only one member of the family tree needs to be filled in
From 4, we know that A sits between his parents such that he is to the immediate left of both, his mother as well as his father. And from 6, we know that none of the children of G are his immediate neighbors. Thus A cannot be son of G. a can be grandson of G.
Family Tree
Also, B’s father is also sitting at the table. Thus, B has to be the only son of D and G.
Family Tree
Also, H (+) is the brother in law of F (-). And, C sits third to the left of his wife’s brother. Wife’s brother is B. Thus, wife is F. Thus, A is the son of either H & E or F & C

Now, seating arrangement Seating Arrangement
CASE 1:
B and his father, G facing towards the center. Also, G sits exactly between his only son B and a daughter.
CASE 2: B and his father facing away from the center
A sits between his parents. Thus A can only be seated at the following positions
CASE 1:
C sits third to the left of his wife’s brother.
From 2, F sits to the immediate right of her husband and to the immediate right of her brother in law H. F and her husband face in the same direction.
F’s husband is C and F sits to his immediate right. Thus,
Since A sits to the immediate left of his father and to the immediate left of his mother,
Filling in missing entries and directions:
According to 2, E faces away from the center.
Thus, case 2 discarded.
