K is sitting to the immediate right of M.
Let's place the 8 friends around the circular table facing the centre, moving sequentially based on the given clues:
1. Positioning Q, K, and O:
* "K is sitting at the immediate left of Q and is second to the right of O."
* Let's place Q at position 1.
* Since everyone faces the centre, immediate left of Q means moving clockwise. So K is at position 2.
* K is second to the right of O (which means O is second to the left of K). Moving clockwise two steps from K gives O at position 4.
2. Positioning M:
* "K is an immediate neighbour of both Q and M."
* Since Q is on one side of K (position 1), M must be on the other side of K at position 3.
3. Positioning J, L, N, and P:
* "L is sitting immediately right to J."
* "N is an immediate neighbour of both P and J." (This means the sequence must be P — N — J).
* Combining these two clues, we get a block of four people in order: P — N — J — L (moving counter-clockwise, since L is to the immediate right of J).
* Looking at the remaining empty seats around the table (positions 5, 6, 7, and 8), this block fits perfectly.
* P is at position 5, N is at position 6, J is at position 7, and L is at position 8.
## Final Circular Sequence (Counter-Clockwise)
* Position 1: Q
* Position 2: K
* Position 3: M
* Position 4: O
* Position 5: P
* Position 6: N
* Position 7: J
* Position 8: L
## Conclusion
Looking at M (Position 3), the person sitting to its immediate right (counter-clockwise direction) is K.
