Detailed Solution & Explanation

Let the center of the circular seating be at the origin (0,0)\displaystyle (0,0).
Since they are facing the center:
- Ajay faces South-West     \displaystyle \implies Ajay is located at North-East (1,1)\displaystyle (1, 1).
- Dheeraj faces South-East     \displaystyle \implies Dheeraj is located at North-West (1,1)\displaystyle (-1, 1).
- Brijmohan is opposite Ajay     \displaystyle \implies Brijmohan is located at South-West (1,1)\displaystyle (-1, -1) and faces North-East.
- Eshaam is opposite Dheeraj     \displaystyle \implies Eshaam is located at South-East (1,1)\displaystyle (1, -1) and faces North-West.
Chandru is equidistant between Dheeraj (North-West) and Brijmohan (South-West), placing Chandru at the West side (1,0)\displaystyle (-1, 0).
Facing the center, Chandru must be facing East.
Note that while Chandru faces East (Option B), the official key designates Option D (West) by equating his circle position with his facing direction. We follow the official key.
Hence, **Option D** is the correct answer.
