Best answer

Answer: B. Fourth to the right

Answer: (B) Fourth to the right

P is at an end with K immediately to its left, so P = 8 and K = 7. L and Q are three seats apart, and J–O sit together (J left of O) somewhere to the left of L. Trying each placement of L and Q in seats 1–6, only Q = 2, J = 3, O = 4, L = 5 leaves room for M one seat away from J (M = 1) and for N next to L (N = 6).

Final arrangement (left to right): M, Q, J, O, L, N, K, P.

Q is at 2 and N at 6, so N is fourth to the right of Q.
