Ten persons namely Pravin, Queen, Raman, Seetha, Tushar, Umesh, Vinoth, Wahab, Ximon and Yousuf are sitting in two parallel rows containing five people each in such a way that there is an equal distance between adjacent persons. People sitting in Row-1 facing north direction while people sitting in Row-2 facing south direction. Therefore people sitting in Row-1 face the people sitting in Row-2. They were born in following months among January, March, April, May, June, July and August. Exactly two persons were born in each of the month of April, May and June. All the above information is not necessarily in the same order.
Seetha sits exactly in the middle of the north facing row. Tushar sits with Ximon and Wahab and opposite to Umesh. Pravin sits at the extreme right end of the south facing row. Only one person sits between the two persons who were born in April. Queen sits opposite to Raman and to the immediate right of the person, who was born in May month. Raman doesn’t face south direction. Wahab was born in August month. The person who was born in March sits to the immediate right of Yousuf and opposite to the person who is born in April.
