B, C, D, E, F, K and L are sitting around a circular table, facing the centre. L sits third to the left of K. Only two people sit between E and F when counted from the left of F. C sits to the immediate right of K. C sits second to the left of E. B is not an immediate neighbour of L. Who sits third to the right of B?
L

Fix the reference point (K) and use the immediate neighbor constraints (C right of K, L third left of K) to place everyone step-by-step.
Fix the reference point (K) and use the immediate neighbor constraints (C right of K, L third left of K) to place everyone step-by-step.
Establish Reference Points
Place K at the bottom (6 o'clock). C is immediate right of K. L is third to the left of K (at 12 o'clock). C is second to the left of E, implying E sits between C and L in clockwise order.
Placement of Remaining Members
Only two people sit between E and F (left of F). With slots available, F must be placed such that F, D, B fill the remaining gaps. Since B is not a neighbour of L, B must be placed opposite to K.
Conclusion
The sequence clockwise is K, C, E, B, F, D, L. Counting third to the right of B (B тЖТ F тЖТ D тЖТ K), we arrive at K.
A: Incorrect, L is not third to the right of B. B: Incorrect, F is immediate right of B. D: Incorrect, D is second to the right of B.
C is correct because according to the determined circular sequence (K, C, E, B, F, D, L), starting from B, the first, second, and third seats to the right are F, D, and K, respectively.
In circular puzzles, always start by placing the person mentioned in the most definitive 'left/right' clues (like 'third to the left') to create a rigid framework.
