Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: A
Explanation
Uma is seventh; three candidates between Uma and Zoya put Zoya third, and Tenzin second.
Yash is not at an end and not next to Zoya: fifth or sixth. Varun is two seats to Yash's left; the third seat is taken, so Yash is sixth and Varun fourth.
Ishaan is next to Varun: fifth. Wahida takes the left end.
Row, left to right as they sit: Wahida, Tenzin, Zoya, Varun, Ishaan, Yash, Uma.
Zoya is third. To her right: Varun (1st), Ishaan (2nd).
Worth noting
Varun is immediately right of Zoya, not second to her right.
