Except Derek and Fatima, which other pair is diagonally opposite to each other?
Show answer & explanation
Answer: (A) Arun and Biswajyot
Explanation
Fatima has no neighbour on her left, so she is at an end. Chitra is next to her and south-facing, so Fatima's row faces south, and Derek, diagonally opposite her, is in the north row. Biswajyot and Evan are north-facing, so the north row is Derek, Evan and Biswajyot, and the south row is Fatima, Chitra and Arun. Biswajyot is not next to Derek, so Evan is in the middle, opposite Chitra. Apart from Derek–Fatima, the other diagonally opposite pair is Arun and Biswajyot.
