Explanation:

Let’s break down the information step-by-step:

- Eight friends: M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, each from different cities.

- All face the center, sitting around a circular table.

Key points:

- S (from Chennai) sits directly opposite the one from Lucknow.

- Q is from Lucknow.

- N sits immediately left of Q.

- R is third to the right of N (Delhi).

- P sits to the immediate left of the one from Kolkata.

- M is from Mumbai, is a neighbor of R.

- O isn't from Gorakhpur or Kolkata.

- R isn't from Bangalore or Gorakhpur.

- The person from Bangalore sits opposite T.

Let’s deduce:

- Q (Lucknow), N (Delhi) sits to Q’s left, so they sit next to each other.

- S sits opposite Lucknow (Q).

- R is third to right of N.

- M is a neighbor to R.

- The person from Bangalore and T are opposite.

Arrangements result in P being from Pune.

Checking the options:

- 1: T – incorrect (T is not from Pune)

- 2: R – incorrect (R is not from Pune)

- 3: Q – incorrect (Q is from Lucknow)

- 4: N – incorrect (N is from Delhi)

- 5: None of these – incorrect, as P is from Pune

Correct Answer: P is from Pune, but this is not among the options. So, Option 5 ("None of these") is correct.

Option 5 is correct.
