We place L at any spot then place N fourth to the left of L. Now we place O to the immediate right of N.

We place J & M such that J sits between L and M also we have to place them such that P can be placed fourth to the left of J.

Step 3: K was sitting second to the left of P.

Now we place K second to the left of P. At last, we place Q in the only place left.

From the arrangement, we can see that Q is sitting fourth to the left of M.
