Explanation:

Let’s break this puzzle down step-by-step:

- Neha is fourth from one of the ends. So, starting left, she’s in position 4.

- There are five people between Neha and Ritu. If Neha is in 4, Ritu is at position 10 (4 + 1 + 5).

- Riya is fourth to the right of Ritu. So, Riya is at position 14 (10 + 4).

- Riya is third to the left of Megha. So, Megha is at position 17 (14 + 3).

- The distance from Neha to Priya equals Priya to Riya. Let's say Priya is between Neha and Riya. If Priya is at position 8 (between 4 and 14), then 4 to 8 is 4, and 8 to 14 is 6—not equal. If Priya is at 9, then 4 to 9 is 5, 9 to 14 is 5. Perfect.

- Nitu is seventh to the left of Priya. If Priya is 9, Nitu is at 2 (9 - 7).

- The number between Neha and Anu is one more than between Anu and Priya. Say Anu is at 6. Neha (4) to Anu (6) = 1. Anu (6) to Priya (9) = 2, but that’s backward. Try Anu at 7: 4 to 7 = 2, 7 to 9 = 1. Works.

- As many sit to the right of Megha as one less than those left of Nitu. Megha at 17, so to her right (17 to end) is zero. Nitu at 2, so to Nitu’s left is 1 (if we count seats 1 to 2). But the math says right of Megha is one less—so there is one left of Nitu, zero right of Megha.

- Total between Neha and Riya is more than four. 4 to 14 is 9, so yes.

So, to the left of Nitu (position 2), just one person is sitting. That means…

Correct answer:

Option:1, One.

Let’s recap:

- At every logic check, the seating fits.

- Only one person sits to the left of Nitu.

- The distribution matches all cues.

You nailed it.
