The 1st lot of 8 children i.e. A, B, D, E, F, G, H, I are all made to sit on the merry go round & the following is known about their seating arrangement.
1) Each child has the seats adjacent to it empty. The term ‘adjacent’ given below refers to the neighbor child.
2) B is on the right of the child who is sitting opposite A.
3) G is adjacent to the child opposite B.
4) One of the child adjacent to I has his name starting with a vowel.
5) F is not adjacent to G & E.
6) H is not adjacent to A but is adjacent to B.
7) B is to the immediate left of D.
It is known that the merry-go-round completes a full rotation once in 160 seconds & can rotate in any direction (clockwise/anticlockwise).
After the 1st lot of 8 children sits at their places, the merry go round starts functioning & each of the remaining children get on to the merry go round after a certain interval of time & through a specific gate.
Consider the diagram below as the reference for the conditions stated henceforth.
The rest of the children sat as follows:
1) O, J, M sat between 2 children whose names start with a consonant.
2) N & Q sat adjacent to A.
3) P & K sat adjacent to the one child whose name starts with a vowel.
4) K sat opposite Q.
5) L & O sat opposite M & N respectively.
The following is known about the gates the children (last 8) used to enter the merry go round & the order in which they entered.
1) In the time between the entries of 2 children, the merry go round rotated in one of the direction for sometime.
2) No 2 consecutive children entered from the same gate.
3) First one to enter is Q from the east gate.
4) Child who sat opposite Q entered next through the north gate.
5) L enters immediately after O through the East gate.
6) O entered after M but before J.
7) N enters before M & P is the not the last child to enter.
8) M & J entered through the west gate.
9) P entered after L did and did not enter through the gate that N entered through.
10) Exactly 2 children entered from each gate.
Find out what is the time interval between each entry of children in the 2nd lot & in which direction (clockwise/anticlockwise) did the merry-go-round rotate between the entries of each child. (Assume that each interval is the shortest possible one i.e the angle of rotation has to be less than 180 degree in each case).
