April
May B
February
H
Case 2: May
February
April
vi) The one born in August sitsH second to the left of A and persons
born in June and March are females and immediate neighbors of
person born in August. So, case 2 gets eliminated here as only
possible place of A is that A is born in May so B must be born in
August but immediate neighbourers of August born person are born
in June and March. But this is not true in Case 2.
vii)In case 1, there may arise another 2 possibilities:
a) Either A is sitting opposite to H.
b) Or A is sitting to the immediate right of B.
Case 1.1:
A

viii) The one born in February is a male and it is also given that
person opposite to A is a female , so this contradicts in case 1.2. case
1.2 gets eliminated.
ix) In case 1.1, it is given that the person born in March sits third to
the right of G.
x) D sits immediate right to the person who was born in January.
xi) The one born in February can not be F or E. So, only possibility is
