Eight persons, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H are sitting in a straight line (but not necessarily in the same order). Three of them are facing south and rests are facing north direction. They all have their lucky numbers i.e., 12, 13, 37, 47, 52, 17, 25, and 18 (not necessarily in same order).
F sits right of C. E’s lucky number is a prime number. G and E face opposite direction. C’s lucky number is average of E’s lucky number and F’s lucky number. B sits third from the extreme end of the row. H’s lucky number is at least less than two numbers among all the given numbers. C doesn’t face north direction. G is an immediate neighbor of C and E both. B faces south direction. B’s lucky number is less than G’s lucky number but greater than H’s lucky number. D sits 2nd to the right of G. C sits immediate left of B. H sits 3rd right of C. The one, who sit at one of the extreme ends, has lucky number is a prime number. Both persons who sits at extreme ends face same direction. All the persons who sit left of D, those lucky numbers are less than the lucky number of D who face north. E’s lucky number is greater than at least three numbers among all the given numbers. The one whose lucky number is 17 doesn’t sit, immediate right of D and immediate left of F. H sits left of F. E’s lucky number is not second highest. A’s lucky number is a prime number.
