1. "Such that" vs "So that"
.
"Such that" is a description of HOW something is to be done.
"So that" is a description of WHY something is to be done.
.
'such that' expresses consequence, 'so that' purpose.
.
Gramatically, both options, A and E are correct.
Meaningwise, E is correct. The purpose of positioning of parties is that the parties shouldn't interfere with each other.
.
.
2. "The other" vs "Another"
.
"The other" is used when there are only two entities involved.
"Another" is used when more than two entities involved.

"one seldom encounters the other" implies that there are 2 things involved. So either one will not encounter the other one.
Use of 'the' shows that the other is defined. With 2, when you pick one, the other is defined.
When we have multiple things and we need to talk about each pair that can be picked, we use "one another". So if we pick one, then it should not encounter any other. Hence (A), (C) and (D) are eliminated.
Option (B) doesn't make sense because "few encounters one with another" is unclear. "encounters" is used as a noun here.
Option (E) clearly says "one seldom encounters another" which means one doesn't bump into any other.
Answer (E)
