Solution & Step-by-step Explanation
Let's assign positions from to around the circular table in a counter-clockwise direction (where right means moving counter-clockwise):
1. Place Gita at position .
2. Ram is sitting second to the right of Gita, so Ram is at position .
3. Pranay is an immediate neighbour of Gita (position ) and Bobby. This means Pranay must be at either position or . If Pranay is at position , his other neighbor Bobby would have to be at position , which is already occupied by Ram. Therefore, Pranay must be at position , and Bobby is placed at position .
4. Aman is sitting third to the right of Gita, which puts Aman at position .
5. The only remaining empty spot is position , which must be occupied by the remaining student, Chintu.
Let's list the full circular layout sequentially:
