Correct Answer :

Option C

O

Solution :

The correct answer is O.

Step-by-Step Solution:

Six persons—K, L, M, N, O, and P—are sitting around a circular table facing towards the center. Let us place them in 6 positions numbered 1 to 6 in a clockwise direction, where opposite positions are pairs (1, 4), (2, 5), and (3, 6).

1. Placing K and N:
- Let K be at Position 1. K uses Samsung.
- K sits opposite N, so N is at Position 4. N uses Xiaomi.

2. Placing L, P, and the Pixel user:
- K (Position 1) sits second to the right of the person using Pixel. Since everyone faces the center, moving two steps clockwise from Position 3 leads to Position 1. Therefore, the person at Position 3 uses Pixel.
- L sits to the immediate left of K, which is Position 2. L uses Apple.
- P sits to the immediate right of K, which is Position 6.

3. Placing O and Vivo user:
- O sits opposite L (Position 2), placing O at Position 5. O uses OnePlus.
- The person to the immediate left of O (Position 5) is at Position 6 (P). Therefore, P uses Vivo.
- The only remaining position is Position 3, which must be occupied by M. Thus, M uses Pixel.

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

Thus, O uses the OnePlus smartphone.
