Reasoning: Puzzles and Arrangements Set 69

Directions (1 – 5): Answer the questions on the basis of the information given below.

Nine person U, V, T, Z, S, X, W, Y, and E are siting in a row. Some of them are facing North and others are facing South direction. Opposite direction means (If one faces South, second faces North and vice versa). Also their age occurs between 35-65 (means all nine members age is between 35-65, and none of them has same age).

W sits in the middle of the row, and one person sits between Y and W.  E sits second to left of Y, and faces opposite direction with respect to both W and Y. S and T both are immediate neighbours of each other and one of them sits at any extreme end of row and both face same direction with respect to E. Number of persons sitting between T and W & Z and W is same. One person sits between Z and and whose age is a perfect square of a number which is more than 6. U and V are immediate neighbours of each other and difference between both of their ages is one year and the age of one of them is a perfect square of a number which is more than 5. Number of persons sitting between the one whose age is 37 and one who is sitting immediate right of W is one more than number of persons sitting between S and U. The age of both of the neighbours of W is a perfect square number. U, who is 48 years old sits third to left of X. The person who is 55 years old sits sixth to right of T. E’s age is 10 years less than his neighbour and Z face opposite direction with respect to both U and Y. W’s age is 3 years more than V. Difference between the ages of Y and T is 5 years and T is older than Y, who is 2 years younger than Z. Not more than 3 persons are facing south direction and S is youngest amongst nine.
