D, E, F, G, K, L ಮತ್ತು M ವೃತ್ತಾಕಾರದ ಮೇಜಿನ ಸುತ್ತಲೂ, ಮೇಜಿನ ಮಧ್ಯಕ್ಕೆ ಮುಖ ಮಾಡಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದಾರೆ.
D, K ಯ ಬಲಕ್ಕೆ ನಾಲ್ಕನೇ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದೆ. L ಯ ಎಡದಿಂದ ಎಣಿಸಿದಾಗ L ಮತ್ತು G ನಡುವೆ ಕೇವಲ ಇಬ್ಬರು ಮಾತ್ರ ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದಾರೆ. F, E ಯ ಎಡಕ್ಕೆ ಮೂರನೇ ಸ್ಥಾನದಲ್ಲಿ ಕುಳಿತಿದೆ. M, E ಮತ್ತು G ಯ ತಕ್ಷಣದ ನೆರೆಯಾಗಿದೆ.
M ನ ಎಡದಿಂದ ಎಣಿಸಿದಾಗ D ಮತ್ತು M ನಡುವೆ ಎಷ್ಟು ಜನರು ಕುಳಿತಿದ್ದಾರೆ?
ಎರಡು
ನಾಲ್ಕು
ಮೂರು
ಒಂದು
ನಾಲ್ಕು
Fix the reference point (e.g., K) and place others relative to it. Since M is adjacent to E and G, placing M first often locks the remaining seats.

Establish the Base
Place K at the bottom. Since D is 4th to the right of K, D is opposite K. (Positions: 1=K, 2, 3, 4=D, 5, 6, 7)
Place M, E, G, F
M is neighbor to E and G. F is 3rd to left of E. Testing the sequence: If E is at 6, M is at 5, G is at 4. F is 3rd left of E (6 → 5 → 4 → 3), so F is at 3. L must be at 2. Counting left from M: 1(G), 2(L), 3(D), 4(K), 5(F), 6(E) = 6 slots filled, correct.
Final Counting
The order clockwise is K(1), D(2), L(3), G(4), M(5), E(6), F(7). Counting left from M (clockwise direction): M → E(1), F(2), K(3), D(4). There are 4 people between D and M.
A: Two is incorrect because the gap between D and M involves E, F, K. C: Three is incorrect because the count must include the specific sequence of seated persons. D: One is incorrect as it underestimates the gap.
B is correct because mapping the circular arrangement positions K(1), D(2), L(3), G(4), M(5), E(6), F(7) results in 4 people (E, F, K, D) between M and D when counting from the left of M.
In circular puzzles, always verify the 'left' and 'right' orientation relative to the centre. If facing the centre, clockwise is left and anti-clockwise is right.
