M, N, O, P, X, Y, and Z are sitting around a circle facing the centre. Z is second to the left of O, who is to the immediate left of Y. M is third to the left of X. N is between P and X. Which of the following option is true?
Show Hint
When seating arrangements are involved, start with known positions and use the clues to build the arrangement step by step.
Let's solve the problem step by step:
1. Z is second to the left of O, so O is two positions to the right of Z.
2. O is to the immediate left of Y, so Y is immediately to the right of O.
3. M is third to the left of X, so X is three positions to the right of M.
4. N is between P and X, so P and X are on either side of N.
Based on these positions, we can visualize the seating arrangement as follows:
\[
\text{Y - O - Z - M - P - N - X}
\]
From this arrangement, it is clear that M is to the immediate right of Z.
Thus, the correct option is (3).
