Directions: Study the following information and answer the questions that follow. Eight students Arpit, Bhavesh, Chinmay, Dinesh, Eknath, Faruk, Girish and Hiten in a college competition participated in a game in which they were sitting around a circular ring. The seats of the ring are not directed towards the centre. All the eight students are in four groups named- Crazy gang, Master Minds, The Mafia and Rockstar, i.e. two students in each group, but not necessarily in the same order. These students are from different states- Maharashtra, Bihar, Assam, MP, Telangana, Rajasthan, Haryana and Karnataka. No two students of the same group are sitting adjacent to each other except those of group The Mafia. Students from group Rockstar are sitting opposite each other. Dinesh is neither from Karnataka nor from Assam state. The student from Haryana is sitting on the immediate right of the student from Karnataka. Chinmay, who is from MP, is in group Crazy gang. He is sitting on the immediate right of Faruk, who is in group The Mafia. Faruk is not from Assam and he has also participated in other game.

Girish and Hiten Eight students: Arpit, Bhavesh, Chinmay, Dinesh, Eknath, Faruk, Girish and Hiten Groups names: Crazy gang, Master Minds, The Mafia and Rockstar States: Maharashtra, Bihar, Assam, MP, Telangana, Rajasthan, Haryana and Karnataka 1) Bhavesh is sitting opposite Eknath. 2) Bhavesh from Bihar is neither in group Rockstar nor in group Crazy gang or Master Minds. 3) Only Rajasthan state participant Arpit is sitting between Haryana participant Eknath and the Telangana participant. 4) Chinmay, who is from MP state, is in group Crazy gang. He is sitting on the immediate right of Faruk, who is in group The Mafia. 5) No two students of the same group are sitting adjacent to each other except those of group The Mafia. That means group The Mafia students are seating adjacent to each other. Here case 1 gets eliminated. 6) Students from group Rockstar are sitting opposite each other. 7) Both the students of group Master Minds are sitting adjacent to students of group Rockstar. 8) The student from Haryana is sitting on the immediate right of the student from Karnataka. 9) Faruk is not from Assam and has also participated in other game. Thus Faruk must be from Maharashtra as the only option left. 10) Dinesh is neither from Karnataka nor from Assam. Thus Dinesh is from state Telangana. So we get the final arrangement. Clearly both Girish and Hiten are in group Rockstar.
