3) M is sitting to the immediate left of P.

As there is no possible position for M in case-1, therefore is eliminated.

4) O is sitting to the immediate left of Q.

As there is no possible position for Q in case-3, therefore is eliminated.

Thus, according to the final arrangement R is sitting second to the left of N.

Hence, "Option 1" is the correct answer.
