Explanation:

Let’s break it down, step by step:

- There are more than 10 people sitting in a circle.

- "R is 3rd to the left of L." Okay, so if L is in one spot, count three seats left, that's where R sits.

- "2 people are sitting between S and R." So S can be either two seats left or two seats right from R.

- "P is 2nd to the right of Q." That places P after skipping one person past Q.

- "1 people sitting between L and Q." So Q can be on either side of L, with just one seat between them.

- "Less than 2 people are sitting between S and P." That means S and P are either next to each other or have only one person between them.

Here’s what this really means: When you try to place everyone with the right gaps, you have to find a number that fits all those constraints. If you sketch it out or mentally count, you’ll see that 14 is the only number that makes every arrangement possible without conflicts or overlaps.

Option 1: 14 is correct.
