Eight friends: Ajit, Byomkesh, Gargi, Jayanta, Kikira, Manik, Prodosh and Tapesh are going to Delhi from Kolkata by a flight operated by Cheap Air. In the flight, sitting is arranged in $30$ rows, numbered $1$ to $30$, each consisting of $6$ seats, marked by letters $\text{A}$ to $\text{F}$ from left to right, respectively. Seats $\text{A}$ to $\text{C}$ are to the left of the aisle (the passage running from the front of the aircraft to the back), and seats $\text{D}$ to $\text{F}$ are to the right of the aisle. Seats $\text{A}$ and $\text{F}$ are by the windows and referred to as Window seats, $\text{C}$ and $\text{D}$ are by the aisle and are referred to as Aisle seats while $\text{B}$ and $\text{E}$ are referred to as Middle seats. Seats marked by consecutive letters are called consecutive seats (or seats next to each other). A seat number is a combination of the row number, followed by the letter indicating the position in the row e.g, $\text{1A}$ is the left window seat in the first row, while $\text{12E}$ is the right middle seat in the $12$th row.

Cheap Air charges Rs. $1000$ extra for any seats in Rows $1$, $12$ and $13$ as those have extra legroom. For Rows $\text{2-10}$, it charges Rs. $300$ extra for Window seats and Rs. $500$ extra for Aisle seats. For Rows $11$ and $14$ to $20$, it charges Rs. $200$ extra for Window seats and Rs. $400$ extra for Aisle seats. All other seats are available at no extra charge.

The following are known:

  1. The eight friends were seated in six different rows.
  2. They occupied $3$ Window seats, $4$ Aisle seats and $1$ Middle seat.
  3. Seven of them had to pay extra amounts, totaling to Rs. $4600$, for their choices of seat. One of them did not pay any additional amount for his/her choice of seat.
  4. Jayanta, Ajit and Byomkesh were sitting in seats marked by the same letter, in consecutive rows in increasing order of row numbers; but all of them paid different amounts for their choices of seat. One of these amounts may be zero.
  5. Gargi was sitting next to Kikira, and Manik was sitting next to Jayanta.
  6. Prodosh and Tapesh were sitting in seats marked by the same letter, in consecutive rows in increasing order of row numbers; but they paid different amounts for their choices of seat. One of these amounts may be zero.

In which row was Manik sitting?

  1. $10$
  2. $11$
  3. $12$
  4. $13$
