Hint:

For problems involving placement on a plot, use the corner and side relationships to deduce opposite corners based on restrictions given.

Answer 1

The Correct Option is D

- The gate is at the center of the plot's side. Lemon and Coconut trees are on either side of the gate.
- The mango tree is not at the corner where the cabin is located, and the well and cabin are at opposite corners.
- Thus, the diagonally opposite trees in the plot are the Lemon tree and the Neem tree.
\(\Rightarrow\) \boxed{\text{Neem tree and Lemon tree}}
