Row 1 – A, B, C, and D facing north but not necessarily in the same order.
Row 2 – P, Q, R, and S facing South but not necessarily in the same order.
8 cities - Delhi, Damascus, Tokyo, New York, London, Beijing, Dhaka, and Madrid,
Now,
1) D sits second to the left of B and faces the person who is from New York. Here two possibilities exist:
2) More than one person sits between B and A. It means Case II gets eliminated as B sits at the extreme right end and A sits at the extreme left end of row 1. So, the remaining C sits between B and D.
3) S is sitting second to the right of Q and faces D who is from Damascus.
Case I -
4) Persons coming from London and Beijing sit adjacent to each other. They can be Q and his adjacent person or C and B.
5) The person who is from London sits second to the left of the person who is from Delhi. This is possible in Case I (a) only. So, Case I (b) gets eliminated.
Case I (a) -
6) P sits at one of the extreme ends of the row but does not face the person who is from Madrid. The remaining R sits between S and Q.
7) The person who is from Dhaka sits adjacent to the person who is from Madrid but not at the end of the row. It means C is from Dhaka and B form Madrid. The remaining A is from Tokyo.
The final arrangement is as follows:
D is from Damascus.
The correct answer is D is from Dhaka.
