Solutions for questions 22 to 25:

It is given that, P faces the north and sits at the right end. Musician faces the same direction as P and sits second to the left of P. From
(4), we come to know that Q is the Musician and sits three places away from the Architect. Thus, Q also faces north. From (3), (4) and
(5) we come to know that, K is to the immediate right of P and he is neither the Principal nor the Lawyer. Both the neighbours of Q face
south.
