Two persons sit between ‘F’ and ‘G’. One person sits between ‘H’ and ‘J’. ‘J’ faces ‘K’. ‘G’ and ‘K’ are not immediate neighbours of each other. ‘N’ sits second to the left of ‘M’. Three persons sit between ‘L’ and ‘M’. Who sits immediate right of ‘L’?

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Placing M and using “N second to left of M” and “three between L and M” fixes M opposite L. From “J faces K” (opposite pair) and the other constraints the only consistent seating places K immediate anticlockwise (right, when facing centre) of L. Thus K is immediate right of L. The arrangement checks all given conditions.
