The correct answer is Patna.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

Seven individuals (A, B, C, D, E, F, G) are seated around a circular table facing the centre. Facing the centre implies:
- Left corresponds to the clockwise direction.
- Right corresponds to the counter-clockwise direction.

Let us determine the positions of each individual and their respective cities step-by-step:

1. Position of B and G:
B is from Delhi. Place B at Position 1.
G sits third to the left (clockwise) of B. Moving 3 steps clockwise from Position 1 places G at Position 4.
G hails from Chennai.

2. Position of D:
D sits third to the left (clockwise) of G (Position 4).
Moving 3 steps clockwise from Position 4 places D at Position 7.
D hails from Patna.

3. Position of A:
A sits second to the right (counter-clockwise) of D (Position 7).
Moving 2 steps counter-clockwise from Position 7 places A at Position 5.
A hails from Hyderabad.

4. Position of E and F:
E sits to the immediate left (clockwise) of A (Position 5), placing E at Position 6.
Since the person from Bengaluru sits to the immediate left of A, E hails from Bengaluru.
F sits to the immediate left (clockwise) of B (Position 1), placing F at Position 2.

5. Position of C:
The only remaining seat for C is Position 3.

6. Seating Arrangement Summary (Clockwise from Position 1 to Position 7):
- Position 1: B (Delhi)
- Position 2: F (Mumbai)
- Position 3: C (Kolkata)
- Position 4: G (Chennai)
- Position 5: A (Hyderabad)
- Position 6: E (Bengaluru)
- Position 7: D (Patna)

7. Finding the Individual between E and B:
Position 6 is occupied by E and Position 1 is occupied by B.
The person seated directly between E (Position 6) and B (Position 1) is D at Position 7, who hails from Patna.
