Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Row facing north: left is west, right is east. Row facing south: left is east, right is west. Each person faces the one in the same position of the other row.
Bhanu is at an end of Row 1, so Faizan is at an end of Row 2. Ekta is on Faizan's right, the west side, so there must be a seat west of Faizan: Faizan is at the east end with Ekta beside him.
So Bhanu is at the east end of Row 1, and Diksha faces Ekta. Heena takes the west end of Row 2 and Girish the seat next to her. Charan must not face Girish, so Charan is at the west end and Aman beside him.
West to east: Row 1 Charan, Aman, Diksha, Bhanu; Row 2 Heena, Girish, Ekta, Faizan.
Row 1 faces north, so its right end is the east end: Bhanu.
Worth noting
Charan is at the left (west) end.
