Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Reasoning: place K as reference and use the given constraints to fix all positions.
M is third to the right of K, so M is three seats clockwise from K.
G sits immediate right of H, and there is exactly one person between G and K. This places G two seats away from K and H immediately left of G.
L is a neighbour of M, so L occupies the remaining adjacent seat to M.
J sits second to the left of N, which fixes J and N in the two remaining seats.
Final seating (clockwise), starting from K: K, N, L, M, H, G, J
Now count the seats to the right (clockwise) of L: first to the right is M, second to the right is H.
Answer: H
