Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
Explanation
Deepak is third; Meera, two places to his right, is fifth. Kavya takes an end, and the right end is next to Meera, so Kavya is at the left end.
Sameer is immediately right of Kavya (second). Anjali is not at an end, so she is fourth and Rohit is at the right end.
Row, left to right as they sit: Kavya, Sameer, Deepak, Anjali, Meera, Rohit.
Anjali (fourth) and Meera (fifth) are neighbours; each of the other pairs has one person between them.
Worth noting
Deepak and Meera are 'second to the right' of each other, so one seat separates them.
