Show the answer and explanation
Correct answer: D
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 Mehul: Mehul, _, Pallavi (second to his left). Rakesh is three seats clockwise from Pallavi: the sixth seat. Oinam, next to both Mehul and Rakesh, is the seventh.
Saira, on Pallavi's right, is the seat anticlockwise of Pallavi: second. Nirmala, on Rakesh's right, is the seat anticlockwise of Rakesh: fifth. Tushar is fourth.
Clockwise from Mehul: Mehul, Saira, Pallavi, Tushar, Nirmala, Rakesh, Oinam.
Right = anticlockwise. From Nirmala: Tushar (1st), Pallavi (2nd).
Worth noting
Oinam is second to Nirmala's LEFT (Rakesh, then Oinam).
