T is not neighbor of P. The ones who work in G, works with only the one who works in C. N sits 3rd right to Q. N faces towards the center. The immediate neighbors of S have break in same slot. Two persons sit between N and O.T, who works in E sits 3rd right to O. The one who sits opposite to M has break in the same slot as M. The one who works in E has break before the one who sits immediate right to T. Immediate neighbors of P faces center. P sits 2nd right to M and has break in 8-9 time slot. The one who works in H sits opposite to the one who works in F. Neither M nor O works in H. The one who works in E is not neighbor of the persons who work in F and B. S and T do not face same direction as O. The one who works in D has break in the time slot just after P. R does not works in A.
