Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

K

Answer 2

The spot to the immediate right of J was taken by K.

• We are given, that all the boys are facing north.
• The first information given is that on J's left is I and we have to find J's right.

So, we can infer the first three positions from left to right as-

I J ?

• Next, J is third to the left of M. This means there are two spots between J and M.
• M is on the right of J.

So, the positions come up like this (left to right)-

I J ?   M

• Next given information is that N was at the right end.

Adding this information to our position, we get (left to right)-

I J ?   M N

• The last information given is that K is not adjacent to M and no place has been left vacant.
• Now, there are only two spots left to fill.
• If K is not adjacent to M, it means that the spot on the left of M is taken by L.

I J ? L M N

• Hence, the only spot K can take is to the left of L or right of J.

I J K L M N

Hence, K was to the immediate right of J.
