PRAKASH, DEEPA, PANKAJ, MUKESH, PRITI, LALIT.

PANKAJ, DEEPA, PRAKASH, LALIT, PRITI, MUKESH.

Yes very right, there are two possibilities, starting from Deepa (moving clockwise) :-.

Deepa, Prakash, Lalit, Priti, Mukesh, Pankaj and Deepa again.

Deepa, Pankaj, Mukesh Priti, Lalit, Praksh and Deepa again.

The direction of the arrangement is not stated; so that the arrangement can be clockwise or anti-clockwise and the answer can be "Deepa" and "Lalit" if the direction is anti-clockwise and clockwise respectively.

Two mirror solutions are possible and question lacks proper description to confine which of them is correct.

Clockwise
1. Deepa-Pankaj-Mukesh-Priti-Lalit-Prakash.
2. Deepa-Prakash-Lalit-Priti-Mukesh-Pankaj.

The answer is Lalit, because everyone is facing to the centre and thus Lalit is at Prakash's right. The main sentence here is facing towards the centre, which has been forgotten as the questions move ahead.

@Rituja and @Saurabhkumar.

Ven facing the centre of the circle the answer will be also as"Deepa".

The order is Prakash-Deepa-Pankaj-Mukesh-Priti-Lalit :Keep Praksh and Mukesh are opposite to each other.

I think there are two ways and I am getting Deepa as answer. I have placed Mukesh on the top. So from top to Right, the order is Mukesh->Pankaj-/>Deepa->Prakash->Lalit->Priti.

According to me, this sequence satisfies all the given statement, so the answer might be Deepa. I was thinking the same because the right side is clockwise then you choose anti-clockwise.

Read the given direction carefully.

... . Prakash and Mukesh are opposite to each other.....

From this itself we can say " Mukesh is sitting opposite to Prakash."
