Why this answer is correct
- N is sitting at one end, and only two people are sitting between N and L.
- Q is an immediate neighbor of one who is sitting at extreme end. No one is sitting between Q and M, who is sitting at extreme end
- P is sitting to the immediate left of L and only two persons are sitting between P and O
