1. Arun sits opposite Dhruv.
2. Farzana sits second to the left of Arun.
3. Bhavya sits next to Dhruv.
4. Elango sits immediately to the right of Arun.

Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
Facing the centre, a person's left neighbour is the next seat clockwise (seen from above) and the right neighbour is the next seat anticlockwise.
Clockwise from Arun: Arun, _, Farzana (second to his left), Dhruv (opposite), _, _.
Bhavya must be next to Dhruv; the seat before Dhruv is Farzana's, so Bhavya is the seat after him. Elango, on Arun's right, is the last seat. Chaitra takes the second seat.
Clockwise from Arun: Arun, Chaitra, Farzana, Dhruv, Bhavya, Elango.
Left = clockwise. Clockwise from Bhavya: Elango (1st), Arun (2nd).
Worth noting
Elango is only first to Bhavya's left.
