Purvi  _____ Riya _____  _____ Neena                         Case 2. As many persons sit to the left of Neena as to the right of Divya. Meghna sits third to the left of Divya. Two persons sit between Meghna and Jaya. Pooja sits exactly between Neena and Jaya, who sits to the right of Neena. More than seven persons sit between Neena and Jaya. If nine person will sit between Neena and Jaya, then Pooja will sit exactly between Neena and Jaya. Meghna will sit third to the right of Jaya. As nine person sit to the left of Neena, so same number of person will sit to the left right of Divya.
