The number of persons sits between G and K is one less than the number of persons sits between K and E when counted from the right of both G and K respectively. At least one person sits between C and E when counted from the right of C. As per these statements, CASE I and CASE III get eliminated and we continue with CASE II and the final arrangement will look like this:
