Explanation:

Let’s break down the clues and options:

- Each person has a unique spot and unique colour.

- Multiple clues give fixed gaps: “three people between”, “fourth to the left”, “second to the right”, etc.

- No one sits "between" two people unless there are at least three people; the clues mention both two and three people in between, which helps us guess the number.

Let’s count from the clues...

- F to black: “No one is sitting between F and black” ? must be adjacent.

- “Two people are sitting between A and C” ? F, A, B, C (minimum 4).

- “Three people between E and black” + Three between A and black ? “between” always means A _ _ _ black (min 5).

- “L is sitting second to the right of H” + “E is sitting second to the left of C” + “G is third to the right of F” + “M is fourth to the right of I” ? these are rotational positions, suggesting a moderate-sized group.

- We have distinct persons (A to M, G, H, J, K, L, M, B, C, D, E, F, I): count these names.

- Listing: A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M ? that’s 13 people.

Now, check with possible arrangements: all clues fit well for 13, and this is the only answer matching all positions and neighbour clues.

Option Analysis:

- Option 1 (12): Too few for the necessary "in between" positions.

- Option 2 (13): Matches the count of named people and fits clues.

- Option 3 (19), Option 4 (20), Option 5 (25): Numbers are too high.

Highlighting Correct Answer:

Option:2, 13 is correct.

Summary of Key Clues:

- 13 unique names = 13 seats.

- “Between”/“adjacent” clues fit perfectly for 13 seats.
