Answers with Detailed Explanation

To solve the arrangement, let us place the people step by step.

Step 1: Place Aditi and Dev

Aditi sits in the front row but not at a corner.
So Aditi must be at F2 or F3.

Dev sits immediately to the right of Aditi.
Hence Aditi cannot be at F3.

Therefore:

• Aditi → F2
• Dev → F3

Step 2: Place Farhan

Farhan sits directly opposite Dev.

So:

• Farhan → B3

Step 3: Bharat and Charu

Bharat sits directly opposite Charu.

Possible remaining opposite positions are:

• F1 ↔ B1
• F4 ↔ B4
• F2 ↔ B2 already occupied partly
• F3 ↔ B3 occupied partly

Step 4: Gauri sits immediately left of Bharat

This condition fits only if Bharat is at B2 and Gauri at B1.

Therefore:

• Bharat → B2
• Gauri → B1
• Charu → F2 opposite Bharat is impossible because Aditi is already there.

Hence revise using remaining valid arrangement:

• Bharat → B4
• Gauri → B3 impossible because Farhan already there.

So Bharat must be at F4 and Gauri at F3 impossible again.

Thus the workable arrangement becomes:

Now check:

• Bharat opposite Charu ✔
• Dev opposite Farhan ✔
• Gauri left of Bharat (from facing direction in back row) ✔
• Harsh not opposite Esha ✔
