- DRitik
Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's arrange them in a circle facing away from the center (clockwise direction means left, counter-clockwise means right):
Piyush is sitting to the immediate left of Ritik. If Ritik is at position 1, Piyush is at position 2 (going clockwise).
Vijay and Aman are not neighbors of Ritik. This means positions adjacent to Ritik (position 5 and position 2) cannot have Vijay or Aman. Position 2 is already occupied by Piyush. Therefore, position 5 cannot be Vijay or Aman.
The remaining person for position 5 must be Nitin.
Now we have positions 3 and 4 left for Vijay and Aman.
Aman is sitting to the immediate right of Vijay. Since they face away from the center, right is counter-clockwise. This means Vijay is at position 3 and Aman is at position 4.

The clockwise order of positions (1 to 5) is: Ritik, Piyush, Vijay, Aman, Nitin.
Looking at Nitin, his immediate right (counter-clockwise) is Ritik.
Piyush is sitting to the immediate left of Ritik. If Ritik is at position 1, Piyush is at position 2 (going clockwise).
Vijay and Aman are not neighbors of Ritik. This means positions adjacent to Ritik (position 5 and position 2) cannot have Vijay or Aman. Position 2 is already occupied by Piyush. Therefore, position 5 cannot be Vijay or Aman.
The remaining person for position 5 must be Nitin.
Now we have positions 3 and 4 left for Vijay and Aman.
