    Question

    H, I, J, P, Q, R and S are sitting around a circular table facing the centre of the table. P sits third to the left of Q. R sits second to the left of S. Q is an immediate neighbour of both I and R. H is not an immediate neighbour of P.
    How many people sit between J and R when counted from the right of J?

    A.

    Three

    B.

    Two

    C.

    One

    D.

    Four

    Correct option is B

    Given:
    7 people: H, I, J, P, Q, R, S
    All are sitting around a circular table facing the centre

    Step 1: Fix a reference
    Place Q anywhere (since circular arrangement).
    Q’s immediate neighbours are I and R.
    So the arrangement around Q must be:
    I – Q – R
    (or R – Q – I)

    Step 2: Use remaining conditions
    P sits third to the left of Q
    R sits second to the left of S
    H is not an immediate neighbour of P
    After applying all conditions consistently, the valid clockwise arrangement is:
    J – I – Q – R – H – S – P
    (All are facing the centre)

    Step 3: Answer the question

    How many people sit between J and R, when counted from the right of J?
    Right of J → I
    Then → Q
    Then → R
    So, between J and R (from J’s right) are:
    I
    Q
    2 people

    ✅ Final Answer:
    Two (Option B)
