  3. C

  4. D

Solution & Step-by-step Explanation

Let's analyze the arrangement step by step. All individuals face West.
For a person facing West:

Their Right points North.

Their Left points South.

Let's arrange them from North (Extreme Right) to South (Extreme Left):

"Fahim is at the extreme left end." ⟹ Fahim is at the southern-most position.

"Bhuwan is just to the left of Lalit but right of Dilip." ⟹ The relative order from North to South is: Lalit → Bhuwan → Dilip.

"Chetan is sitting to the immediate right of Lalit." ⟹ Order becomes: Chetan → Lalit → Bhuwan → Dilip.

"Chetan is between Amit and Lalit." ⟹ Amit must be to the immediate right of Chetan. Order becomes: Amit → Chetan → Lalit → Bhuwan → Dilip.

Combining all clues together with Fahim at the extreme left (South end), the final linear sequence from North to South is:

[North/Right End] Amit → Chetan → Lalit → Bhuwan → Dilip → Fahim [South/Left End]
Now we look for the neighbors of Dilip:
Dilip is seated between Bhuwan and Fahim.
