Let the positions of the six friends be numbered 1-6: 1. Pawan is to the immediate left of Vikram. Rishab is 4th to the right of Pawan. ⇒ Let Vikram be placed at position 1, then Pawan is at position 2 and Rishab sits 4th to the right of Pawan, thus he sits at position 4. 2. Only Mayank sits between Pawan and Rishab. ⇒ Mayank sits at position 3. 3. Shubham does not sit adjacent to Vikram. ⇒ Shubham does not sit on position 6, he sits at position 5 and Kanta occupies the remaining position. The complete arrangement is: The seat immediate right of Shubham is occupied by Rishab.
