Six people M, N, O, P, Q, R are sitting around a circular table facing the center. M is between O and P. R is third to the left of P. N is to the immediate right of Q. Who is sitting opposite to M?

Fix the position of a known anchor (P) and place others relative to it, then locate the gap opposite M.
Fix the position of a known anchor (P) and place others relative to it, then locate the gap opposite M.
Establishing the anchor and initial placements
Place P at the bottom position (6 o'clock). R is 3rd to the left of P, placing R at the top (12 o'clock). M is between O and P; since M must be adjacent to P, place M at the 5 o'clock position and O at the 4 o'clock position.
Completing the circular arrangement
We have positions occupied: 12 o'clock(R), 4 o'clock(O), 5 o'clock(M), 6 o'clock(P). Remaining positions are 8 and 10 o'clock for Q and N. Given N is immediate right of Q, Q must be at 8 o'clock and N at 10 o'clock.
Identifying the person opposite to M
The positions are: 12(R), 10(N), 8(Q), 6(P), 5(M), 4(O). M is at 5 o'clock. Counting across the circle, the position opposite 5 o'clock is 10 o'clock, which is occupied by N.
B: N is correct; A: Q is at 8 o'clock (adjacent to P and N, not opposite M), C: R is opposite P, D: P is adjacent to M.
B is correct because mapping the seats leads to N occupying the position directly across from M.
In circular puzzles with 6 people, always remember that the person opposite the occupant of position X is at position X+3.
