Option B

M – Pixel

Solution :

The correct answer is M – Pixel.

Step-by-Step Explanation:

We are given six persons (K, L, M, N, O, and P) sitting around a circular table facing towards the center, each using a different smartphone brand: Samsung, Apple, Pixel, Xiaomi, OnePlus, and Vivo.
Let us assign 6 positions around the circle in a clockwise direction (positions 1 through 6), facing the center.

Step 1: Place K and N
- K sits opposite N.
- N uses Xiaomi.
- K uses Samsung.
Let position 1 be K (Samsung). Then, position 4 (opposite to position 1) is N (Xiaomi).

Step 2: Locate the Pixel smartphone user
- K sits second to the right of the person who uses Pixel.
Since K is at position 1, the person at position 5 must use Pixel (as position 1 is 2nd to the right of position 5).

Step 3: Place L and O
- L sits to the immediate left of K and uses Apple.
The immediate left of position 1 is position 6. So, position 6 is occupied by L (Apple).
- O sits opposite L and uses OnePlus.
The position opposite position 6 is position 3. So, position 3 is occupied by O (OnePlus).

Step 4: Place P and M
- P sits to the immediate right of K.
The immediate right of position 1 is position 2. So, position 2 is occupied by P.
- The only vacant position remaining is position 5, which must be occupied by M.
From Step 2, we know position 5 uses Pixel. Therefore, M uses Pixel.

Step 5: Determine the brand for P
- The person who uses Vivo sits to the immediate left of O (position 3), which is position 2.
Thus, P uses Vivo.

Final Seating Arrangement Summary:
- Position 1: K – Samsung
- Position 2: P – Vivo
- Position 3: O – OnePlus
- Position 4: N – Xiaomi
- Position 5: M – Pixel
- Position 6: L – Apple

Comparing the given options:
- M – Pixel (Correct)
- L – Vivo (Incorrect, L uses Apple)
- P – Apple (Incorrect, P uses Vivo)
- N – OnePlus (Incorrect, N uses Xiaomi)

Hence, the combination M – Pixel is correct.
