Read the data given below and answer the following question: Six girls —…

Concept: When every person in a circular arrangement faces the centre, the directions reverse relative to a normal top-down view — moving towards a person’s LEFT means moving clockwise around the circle, and moving towards their RIGHT means moving anticlockwise. ‘nth to the right/left of X’ means counting n seats in that direction starting from X’s own seat.

Applying this to the six seats: 1. Fix Pooja’s seat and label every other seat by how many steps it is to Pooja’s right (the anticlockwise direction) — 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 steps. 2. ‘Pooja sits to the left of Vineeta’ places Vineeta at Pooja’s own immediate right, i.e. 1 step to the right of Pooja. 3. ‘Reeti is fourth to the right of Pooja’ places Reeti 4 steps to the right of Pooja. 4. That leaves the seats 2, 3 and 5 steps to the right of Pooja for Qimat, Shweta and Tejaswini, in some order. 5. The clue that someone other than Tejaswini sits between Qimat and Shweta rules out most of the remaining pairings: only the pair of seats 3 steps and 5 steps to the right of Pooja has exactly one seat between them, and that shared seat is the one 4 steps to the right of Pooja — Reeti’s seat, not Tejaswini’s. 6. So Qimat and Shweta occupy the seats 3 and 5 steps to the right of Pooja (the clues do not fix which one sits where, and it does not affect the answer), leaving the seat 2 steps to the right of Pooja for Tejaswini.

Cross-check: with this seating, Qimat and Shweta do have exactly one person between them, and that person is Reeti — matching the clue that it is someone other than Tejaswini. Every other clue (Pooja-Vineeta, Reeti’s position) is also satisfied, so this is the only consistent arrangement.

The question asks who sits second to the right of Pooja — that is the seat found in step 6, occupied by Tejaswini.
