Actually, we can have 2 answers for 2 cases.
Case-1:
Starting from Prakash if I go clockwise Prakash-> Deepa-> Pankaj-> Mukesh-> Priti-> Lalit.
Here the answer is Deepa.
Case-2:
Starting from Prakash if I go clockwise: Prakash-> Lalit-> Priti-> Mukesh-> Pankaj-> Deepa.
Then the right of Pankaj will be Mukesh.
In both cases, they are facing inwards. I have not considered any outwards or anti-clockwise direction. There are two different arrangements/cases, so there can be two different answers to this question.

Hi, as you can see the other arrangement (Lalit, Priti Mukesh, Pankaj, Deepa, Prakash (clockwise direction). Looking at question 2 (Who is sitting just right to Pankaj, Mukesh is not in the options, so this can't be the arrangement.

@All.
The answer is Deepa because the right to Pankaj means we should feel that we are in his place and facing centre and then right to us is Deepa, not Mukesh (he was left to us).

In such case when no clear idea can be made then consider only clockwise arrangement, because answer is most likely to be according to clockwise direction in such case.

As per the question, the answer would be Deepa and Mukesh. Since Mukesh is not in the option, we would have to assume that the answer is an option (a) Deepa

The correct ans is deepa or mukesh. You can consider any of the options. As mukesh is not given in options, the ans is deepa. !

Either complete the Que. Or change options. Because there is incomplete information about pankaj and prakash position.
