A, B, E, G, P, L and M are sitting around a circular table facing the centre. Only three people sit between P and E when counted from the left of P. Only three people sit between M and A when counted from the right of A. L sits to the immediate right of M. G is an immediate neighbour of A as well as E. Who sits to the second to the left of B?
P
G
A
L
P
Fix the anchor point based on the most constrained entities. Here, P and E have a fixed 3-person gap. Since all face the center, 3 people between them means they are sitting opposite each other.

Establish Positions
With 7 people in a circle, '3 people between P and E' means they are diametrically opposite (P at 12 o'clock, E at 6 o'clock). G is a neighbor of both A and E. Since E is at 6, G must be at 5 or 7. If G is at 5, A is at 4.
Locate remaining members
L sits immediate right of M. With A at 4 and G at 5, M must be at 3 and L at 3.5 (impossible). Adjusting: If A is at 3, M is at 7 (3 people between them from right of A: 4,5,6 are the 3 people). L is right of M (at 8). B is the remaining seat.
Identify Target
The order clockwise is P, G, A, M, L, E, B. B is at 9 o'clock. Moving second to the left (counter-clockwise from B): 1st left is E, 2nd left is A.
A: G is at 5, not 2nd left of B. C: E is 1st left of B. D: L is 3rd left of B.
B is correct because mapping the seats A, B, E, G, P, L, M around the table reveals A sits second to the left of B.
In circular puzzles with an odd number of people, always check for diametrically opposite constraints first as they simplify the relative spacing significantly.
