Solution

Sure, let's solve this step by step.

Step 1: Understand the seating arrangement

  • There are two rows: Row 1 (P, Q, R, S, T, U) facing north and Row 2 (A, B, C, D, E, F) facing south.
  • The persons in Row 1 face the persons in Row 2.
  • The distance between any two adjacent persons is the same.

Step 2: Place U and Q in Row 1

  • U sits at the extreme left end of Row 1.
  • Q sits 3rd to the right of U.

So, the arrangement in Row 1 so far is:

U _ _ Q _ _

Step 3: Place R and S in Row 1

  • Two persons sit between R and S.
  • S does not sit opposite to B.

There are two possible placements for R and S:

  1. R _ _ S _ Q
  2. S _ _ R _ Q

Step 4: Place E in Row 2

  • E sits opposite to the one who sits adjacent to Q.

If we consider the first possible placement for R and S:

U _ R _ S Q

The person adjacent to Q is S. So, E cannot sit opposite to S. Therefore, we consider the second possible placement:

U S _ _ R Q

The person adjacent to Q is R. So, E sits opposite to R.

Step 5: Place B in Row 2

  • Two persons sit between E and B.
  • B does not sit at any of the ends of the row.

Since E is opposite to R, we place E in Row 2:

_ _ _ E _ _

Two persons between E and B means B can be in either of these positions:

B _ _ E _ _
_ _ _ E _ B

Since B does not sit at any of the ends, the only valid position is:

_ B _ E _ _

Step 6: Place F in Row 2

  • F sits 4th to the left of B and opposite to P.

Since B is in the second position, F must be in the 6th position:

_ B _ E _ F

F is opposite to P, so P must be in the 6th position in Row 1:

U S _ _ R Q
_ B _ E _ F
_ _ _ _ _ P

Step 7: Place C and D in Row 2

  • C does not sit opposite to Q or U.
  • D sits adjacent to C.

Since C cannot sit opposite to Q or U, and D is adjacent to C, the only valid positions for C and D are:

D C _ E _ F

Step 8: Finalize the arrangement

Now we have:

Row 1: U S _ _ R Q P
Row 2: D C _ E _ F B

Step 9: Fill in the remaining positions

  • Two persons sit between R and S, so the only valid position for T is:
U S T _ R Q P
  • The remaining position in Row 2 is A:
D C A E _ F B

Final arrangement:

Row 1: U S T _ R Q P
Row 2: D C A E _ F B

So, the final seating arrangement is:

  • Row 1 (facing north): U, S, T, _, R, Q, P
  • Row 2 (facing south): D, C, A, E, _, F, B
