Detailed solution:

Given: 8 people attend the meeting A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H 

1) B is sitting diagonally opposite C.

F1 Vilas SSC 22.12.2022 D50

2) E is an immediate neighbour of C who is sitting third to the left of D.

 F4 Vinanti SSC 19.01.23 D1 V2

3) F sits immediately left who sits diagonally opposite to H.

(Here case 1 is eliminated because F sits immediately left who sits diagonally opposite to H and in case 1 Immediately left sits are already reserved.)

F1 Vilas SSC 22.12.2022 D52

4) G is not the neighbour of B and F. As E is sitting between A and C.

(From this statement Case 3 is eliminated because G is not a neighbour of B and F)

F1 Vilas SSC 22.12.2022 D53

Clearly, Four people sit between E and H when counted from the left of E.

Hence, the correct answer is "4".
