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)
